Tua Tagovailoa stumbled after a big hit to the head - and the team's explanation as to why he was cleared to return left concussion experts flabbergasted. 🤨 9WWOS NFL
He missed Miami's last three snaps of the first half, then returned and played the rest of the way as the Dolphins became the AFC's last unbeaten team by knocking off the Bills.A person with knowledge of the matter said after the game there would be a joint review by the NFL and the National Football League Players Association of what went into the decision to allow Tagovailoa to return to the game.
“I was kind of with everyone else. When he hit his head on the ground, I assumed it was a head injury,” Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said. “Then on the next play, I kind of hit my back, it kind of hurt, and I got up and that's why I stumbled. My back kind of locked up on me."Tagovailoa wasn't the only quarterback banged up during the Bills-Dolphins game.Buffalo's Josh Allen needed an X-ray after the game on his right hand, after he hit it on a helmet or face mask — he wasn't sure — in the final moments.“I'm fine," he insisted, after a 42-for-63, 400-yard, two-touchdown day.
A pair of offensive linemen held him up at that point, ensuring he wouldn’t fall again, and Dolphins’ medical personnel ran onto the field to check him further. They walked him off the field, directly into the tunnel leading to the Miami locker room.Tagovailoa was replaced by Teddy Bridgewater for the three plays he missed.Australian NFL rookie gets high praise after win
