Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw two interceptions and lost a fumble in Sunday\u2019s 33-8 loss to the Colts and the multiple turnovers were the subject of an early question at his postgame press conference. <\/p>\n

Tagovailoa only turned the ball over in three games last season, but there were multiple giveaways in each of those games and he\u2019s had seven games with at least three turnovers since entering the league in 2020. Per ESPN Research, only Trevor Lawrence has had more<\/a> three-turnover games over that span and Tagovailoa was asked if he thinks the turnovers come in bunches because he is pressing in certain games. <\/p>\n

Tagovailoa took issue with that framing despite what the statistical evidence shows about his turnovers. <\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t say I\u2019m pressing<\/a>. I would say it\u2019s part of the game,\u201d Tagovailoa said. \u201cYou obviously don\u2019t want to turn the ball over. I thought that was a wild comment, that I turn the ball over in bunches. That\u2019s crazy. It just so happened that\u2019s what happened today, it was what it was. Got to move forward from that, can\u2019t make those same mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n

While there may be different ways to characterize the issue, there\u2019s little objection to be found in Tagovailoa\u2019s belief that neither he nor the team can afford to keep making the same mistakes in the weeks to come. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw two interceptions and lost a fumble in Sunday\u2019s 33-8 loss to the Colts…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":211887,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-211886","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-united-states","10":"tag-unitedstates","11":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115172408307487503","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211886"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211886\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
