Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa addressed concerns regarding his health following a notable incident during Monday's victory over the Los Angeles Rams. The moment in question occurred as Tagovailoa attempted to make a tackle after throwing an interception, resulting in a knee to the head from Rams linebacker Christian Rozeboom.
In his post-game remarks, Tagovailoa conveyed that he feels 'good' despite acknowledging his 'bad tackling form' during the play. He humorously referred to the situation, expressing surprise at the interception and mentioning he had urged Rozeboom to run out of bounds instead of being tackled. Although the collision raised immediate concerns given Tagovailoa's past concussion issues, he demonstrated no signs of injury, walking off the field and finishing the game without incident.
Ultimately, Tagovailoa completed 20 of 28 passes for 207 yards, contributing one touchdown and one interception to the Dolphins' 23-15 win. This victory not only improved Miami's record to 3-6 but also kept their playoff hopes alive as they sit just one game behind the Denver Broncos for the final playoff spot in the AFC entering Week 11.
