Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa may have had a career year in 2023, but his performance against the Kansas City Chiefs in their 26-7 wild-card loss left a lot to be desired.
Tagovailoa completed just 51.3% of his passes for 199 yards with one touchdown, one interception and a 63.9 passer rating. Even those numbers were a bit inflated by some garbage-time drives with the team down by 19 in the fourth quarter.
During the game, San Francisco 49ers practice squad wide receiver Willie Snead called Tagovailoa out on social media in a since-deleted, insinuating that he is the reason for the Dolphins’ struggles.

Tagovailoa definitely needs to play better, especially in harsh conditions, and it’s something everybody, even his biggest defenders, knows. However, to call out his toughness is a bit much.
