It was a rough day at the office for Tua Tagovailoa. 

During the Miami Dolphins' 31-6 blowout loss to the Cleveland Browns, he threw three interceptions. In the fourth quarter, Tagovailoa was benched in favor of rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers. Prior to his being benched.

Following the game, Tagovailoa expressed his dismay at his performance.

“Definitely not happy, not proud of where I'm at with my play, with how I've gone about things this year," Tagovailoa said, after averaging just 4.3 yards per attempt and finishing the game with a career-low 24.1 passer rating. 

"I know I've gotta be a lot better — and I've been better for the Miami Dolphins in years past. But this isn't years past, this is this year. Just trying to maneuver everything and build a collection of guys to come along with me. I've gotta be able to multitask if that makes sense, and while doing that, and get in that flow."

"Starts with me, can't turn the ball over, gotta get the operation going with the guys," Tagovailoa said. "Regardless of whatever the situation or circumstance may be, we just gotta stick together. That's it. That's how we move forward from this."

The Dolphins are off to their worst start since 2021, head coach Mike McDaniel noted that "all options are on the table" at quarterback. He also spoke about being on ” the hot seat” with his job security

"The way I look at this job is I find it very offensive to all parties involved if I'm thinking about having the job -- I need to be doing my job," McDaniel said. "So, for as long as I coach for the Miami Dolphins and this organization, they'll get everything from me. And I refuse to spend my time thinking about [my job security]. ... You have a job, you do your job, and you do it to the best of your ability.”
