Dolphins' 31-6 Loss Intensifies Scrutiny of Tua

A mic'd-up clip from Cleveland’s 31-6 win captured Browns safety Ronnie Hickman saying “Give it to me Tua” just before intercepting Tua Tagovailoa, underscoring Miami's poor performance in the game that dropped the Dolphins to 1-6. The loss intensified scrutiny of Tagovailoa, who has struggled with turnovers, and coach Mike McDaniel said Tua will remain the starter, will take all first‑team snaps in practice, and met with him to review tape. McDaniel called turnovers the primary driver of recent losses and said “everything is on the table” while adding there are no immediate changes in football leadership. The situation was compounded by Tagovailoa’s recent public criticism of teammates for missing players‑only meetings—comments he later apologized for and discussed privately—and drew rebukes from figures such as Nick Saban. Critics and commentators say the combined on-field struggles and the public airing of internal discipline raise broader questions about Miami’s culture, roster construction and leadership as speculation about deeper changes grows.
