The Miami Dolphins lost a game for the first time in the 2022 NFL season, however, it clearly wasn’t their worst loss on Thursday Night Football to open Week 4, as the story of the game in which they were defeated 27-15 by the Cincinnati Bengals was the grisly blow to the head that Tua Tagovailoa suffered in the second quarter that puts the quarterback’s future and health in serious doubt.
The moments of terror following the blow to Tua Tagovailoa’s head
Tagovailoa, who had left the Week 3 game against the Buffalo Bills with a hit that caused him to stagger and fall to the ground, was in doubt for this game, but Miami had said he had not suffered a concussion, which he certainly did Thursday at Paul Brown Stadium when Bengals nose tackle Josh Tupou tackled him to the ground and the University of Alabama graduate’s head bounced violently on the gridiron.
Some time later, Tagovailoa tried to grab his head, but his hands went completely stiff, alerting the Miami medical staff, who immobilized him and wheeled him off the field on a cart, while all the Dolphins players supported him gathered in the middle of the field.
The hero of the game was Vonn Bell with two interceptions
As for the game, it was mostly dominated by the defenses and it was Bengals safety Vonn Bell who became the hero of the game with two interceptions, the first in the first quarter to Tagovailoa and the second to Teddy Bridgewater in the fourth period, just when Miami was down by five points and had the ball in Cincinnati territory with less than four minutes to play.
What’s next for the Bengals and Dolphins?
Joe Burrow, who threw for 287 yards and two touchdowns, led the Bengals to even their record at 2-2 and will have the opportunity to record their third win when they visit the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, October 9.
Meanwhile, Miami (3-1) will return to the gridiron on the same day when they visit the New York Jets.
