The Miami Dolphins are feeling the absence of Tua Tagovailoa on the field. Tua has been out for the last five weeks due to another concussion sustained in a game. In response, the Dolphins brought in Tyler Huntley to fill in for Tagovailoa, but he too got injured during the team’s Week 7 matchup against the Colts.

Third-string quarterback Tim Boyle stepped in for the Dolphins, but made a costly mistake at the end of the game. With just 11 seconds remaining and facing 4th and 2, Boyle inexplicably threw the ball out of bounds, far from any Dolphins receiver, effectively ending the team’s chances.

Fox’s Daryl Johnston harshly criticized Tim Boyle for his costly mistake. Johnston commented, “I know Tim Boyle probably didn’t expect to play as much as he did today. But you’ve got to be ready… You have to understand that situation in the game.” Fortunately for the Dolphins, Tua Tagovailoa is expected to return next week.
