The unforeseen turn of events in the match between the Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans has left the former’s fans seething with anger and frustration. Spectators have come forth to attribute this loss to Tua Tagovailoa, due to which Dolphins ended up facing their first home loss of the ongoing season. Barstools Sports’ CEO, Dave Portnoy holds a similar opinion.
Dave Portnoy has never failed to express his dissent or approval over hit topics in sports through his Twitter handle. And this time, his opinion aligns with the Dolphins fans who think that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa single-handedly dissolved the game. Let’s take a look at his recent tweet.

Dave Portnoy took to his Twitter handle @stoolpresidente expressing his disapproval of Tua’s performance. He vehemently dismissed it and wrote, “Tua Sucks,” in his recent post. Dolphins were on the verge of winning the game, however, Tagovailoa’s counterproductive moves allowed the Titans to take their first win of the season with a 28-27 victory. In the fourth quarter and final three crucial minutes, they managed to overcome a 14-point deficit, helping them mark their win.

On being sacked five times, Tua Tagovailoa’s actions led the Titans to face a relentless win. In the last four minutes, it sabotaged their entire trajectory. Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was easily sacked by Arden Key who serves as Tennessee Titans linebacker during the NFL game at Hard Rock Stadium. Tagovailoa got sacked the fifth time on fourth-and-2 when 20 seconds of the game were remaining resulting in the loss.
The Dolphins had come to the game with a record of 9-3, whereas the Titans were 4-8. And, Dave Portnoy’s reaction to Tagovailoa’s moves is rightly justified, given that Dolphins fans had never imagined such a terrible loss.

Falling to 9-4 which marked Miami’s first home loss, they failed to grab the opportunity to become AFC’s No. 1 seed. It was for the first time in six years that the Titans secured the win at Hard Rock Stadium. Now, reportedly Dolphins will be taking a backseat, allowing the Ravens to lead in the AFC rankings.
Handing the Dolphins two free touchdowns in quarter 4, the Titans supremely emerged to turn the games in their favor. Not only this, Miami had a terrible offense for most of the game given that Tyreek Hill played inconsistently due to his ankle injury. Thus, according to fans, when it mattered most, Tua failed them.
