Dolphins Struggle Continues After Critical Tagovailoa Interception in Buffalo Loss

The Miami Dolphins suffered a third consecutive loss after a 31-21 defeat by the Buffalo Bills, marked by a critical late interception thrown by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Head coach Mike McDaniel acknowledged Tagovailoa's responsibility for the turnover but emphasized that the blame should be shared collectively across the offense, especially given the pressure Tagovailoa faced during the play. Analysts and fans have increasingly focused criticism on Tagovailoa, highlighting his repeated costly turnovers despite his high salary and contract, and noting his struggles with consistency and decision-making in crucial moments. While McDaniel has faced criticism in the past for playcalling, many experts now believe the team's failures are more attributable to key player errors, particularly Tagovailoa's late-game mistakes. Despite these setbacks, McDaniel was credited for his game management and playcalling during the Thursday Night Football matchup, with some suggesting he may retain his position longer due to the circumstances. The Dolphins remain winless this season, with their upcoming game against the New York Jets seen as an opportunity to halt their losing streak.
