On Sunday afternoon, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had what might have been the worst game of his career when he threw three interceptions on his team’s last three drives to give the game to the Green Bay Packers. And after the game, he took ownership of the horrible performance.
“Just very unfortunate,” Tua Tagovailoa said after the game according to NFL.com. “It was just terrible how everything ended. Like I told the guys, ‘That’s on me.’ I will definitely get better from that.”
Tagovailoa took some time to explain what happened on each of his two interceptions.
“On the first one, I tried to throw it over a defender, but I ended up really throwing over the defender and Tyreek [Hill], so that one got away,” Tagovailoa said. “The second one, I might have said the wrong play. I’m not too sure. But there was just some communication errors on that.”
Tagovailoa wasn’t to blame for his second interception as wide receiver Raheem Mostert took the blame for not running the route correctly, but Tagovailoa took blame for the third interception, as well.
“The third one was just not a good ball for my receivers to have been able to make a play on that,” Tagovailoa said. “You know, it’s tough. You get an opportunity to play on Christmas Day against a really good team, and I go out there and really not being able to put my best foot forward for our team.”
Tagovailoa will have a chance to bounce back this weekend with a game against the New England Patriots.
