Tua Tagovailoa’s reckless tackle attempt on interception return left NFL fans stunned

Tua Tagovailoa should probably be more careful.

The Miami Dolphins quarterback tried to make a tackle after an interception on Monday night and NFL fans couldn’t believe it.

With the Dolphins leading 10–0 over the Los Angeles Rams with 10:18 left in the first half, Tagovailoa dropped back on second-and-14 and fired a pass that was intercepted by Rams linebacker Christian Rozeboom. As Rozeboom played the ball back, Tagovailoa tried to get in his way and make a tackle. He did this by lowering his head. Everyone watching shuddered.

Video is below.

Given his repeated concussion issues, it was probably a terrible idea for Tagovailoa to lead with his head during a tackle.

Fans jumped on social media to immediately say they couldn’t believe how reckless he was.

Fans are right to be concerned. Tagovailoa missed four games earlier this season after suffering another concussion. If he’s healthy, the Dolphins can be very good. If he’s gone, they’ll lose their leader. He has to be careful and protect himself so he can stay on the field.
