However, fans and the franchise celebrated the return of starting QB Tua Tagovailoa after several weeks away. The former Alabama standout discussed his long-awaited comeback and reflected on the defeat against their rival.
His continuity in the league was threatened after suffering another concussion, this time in the game against the Buffalo Bills. Many speculated about a potential retirement if he couldn’t recover from it.
However, none of this came to pass, and to the delight of both the player and the entire Miami franchise, Tua Tagovailoa started the game despite the narrow one-point loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Once the game concluded, Tua reflected on his feelings after returning to the field: “It feels good to be able to come back and play with my teammates,” Tagovailoa told the media after loss against Cardinals.
Tua Tagovailoa #1 of the Miami Dolphins looks to pass in the fourth quarter of a game against the Arizona Cardinals at Hard Rock Stadium on October 27, 2024 in Miami Gardens, Florida.
“To hopefully help in whatever way I can to get a spark going for our offense or get the mojo going for the entire team,” the former Alabama QB finally stated.

The exciting return of Tua Tagovailoa to the field after several weeks away due to a serious concussion was somewhat overshadowed by the loss suffered at home in Hard Rock Stadium.
In a game where either team could have claimed victory, it was ultimately Kyler Murray and his squad who triumphed, edging out their rivals with a narrow 28-27 win.
Regarding this situation, the Dolphins QB expressed his thoughts: “It was good, but tough loss today against a really good team,” the Dolphins signal-caller admitted. “So, that diminishes not just what I’ve done but a lot of what other guys have done individually as well.”
