INDIANAPOLIS -- Tua Tagovailoa wasn't good enough in the Miami Dolphins ' season-opening 33-8 loss Sunday to the Indianapolis Colts .
But in his defense, no Dolphins player was.
In his first start since Week 16 of this past season, the Dolphins quarterback completed 14-of-23 passes for 114 yards and a touchdown but threw two interceptions and lost a fumble for his second multiturnover game in his past three starts.
Tagovailoa's 51.7 passer rating was the lowest of his career in a game he didn't leave early with an injury. Sunday also marked his fewest passing yards in such games since Week 18 of the 2021 season.
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he needed to review the film to fully digest Tagovailoa's performance but said Sunday's result wasn't all on his quarterback's shoulders
