Falcons’ Tua Tagovailoa Defends Dolphins’ Decision to Bench Him Last Season

“If you’re looking at last year, my play wasn’t up to the standard of the way I’ve been playing football in the past,” Tagovailoa said. “So, [I’ve] just got to play better football. There’s no other way to sugarcoat that or go around that.” The Dolphins benched him last season after he threw a career-high 15 interceptions in 14 games, turning over the starting job to rookie Quinn Ewers.
