The Chargers defense was unable to stop quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins’ offense.
INGLEWOOD — There was nothing wrong Sunday with Chargers new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore’s offense during a 36-34 loss to the Miami Dolphins at SoFi Stadium. The defense, under head coach Brandon Staley and new defensive coordinator Derrick Ansley, was another story.At some point in the season-opening game, it seemed apparent the team with the ball last might win a game dominated by two high-octane offenses.
Tua Tagovailoa’s 4-yard touchdown pass to Tyreek Hill then gave Miami a 36-34 lead, with Sanders missing the extra point with 1:45 left. Tagovailoa passed for 466 yards against a porous Chargers defense, connecting with Hill 11 times in 15 attempts for 215 yards and two TDs. Tagovailoa completed 16 of 26 passes for 264 yards and a 1-yard touchdown pass in the first half alone, picking apart the Chargers’ defense with remarkable ease. The Dolphins’ plays were mostly simple rollouts and passes to open receivers across the middle of the field.
