Tua Tagovailoa returned to the Miami Dolphins’ starting lineup on “Sunday Night Football” against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He did so with a flourish.
The quarterback, who suffered scary hits and had been in concussion protocol, led a 9-play, 71-yard drive for a touchdown.

Tagovailoa was 6-of-7 for 68 yards. The TD pass went to Raheem Mostert after the quarterback started to scramble but quickly found his back in the flat.
.@Tua scrambles and finds @RMos_8Ball for 6!
Perfect opening drive for the @MiamiDolphins.
