Expectations high after Tua leads TD drive in 2024 debut.
----- 'LIVE' Instant Reaction from Jim GRIES Grieshaber -----
Tua went 5-for-5 with a TD pass in his only series, as the Dolphins won 13-6 over the Washington Commanders on Saturday night.
Tagovailoa was on point, throwing for 51 yards on a 61-yard TD drive that ended with a 13-yard pass to River Cracraft on fourth-and-1.
Washington rookie QB Jayden Daniels was very good as well, going 10 of 12 for 78 yards and rushing for 13 yards.
Jason Sanders made field goals from 39 and 33 yards for the Dolphins (2-0).
Rookie edge rusher Chop Robinson, the Dolphins' first-round draft pick, made his preseason debut and stopped Michael Wiley for a 4-yard loss late in the second quarter.
Tagovailoa was without top targets Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, who combined for 2,813 receiving yards last season. Neither was in uniform.
The Dolphins play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next Friday night in preseason game number three, the final one before the regular season starts up.
We will be 'LIVE' right after the game with your Locked on Dolphins POSTCAST, hosted by Jim "Gries" Grieshaber.
