Tua Tagovailoa and his Miami Dolphins took on the Kansas City Chiefs in a wildcard playoff skirmish. Arrowhead Stadium played host to the Dolphins. But, in the battle for this fierce confrontation, Nature had a frosty surprise in store. The temperature plummeted to a teeth-chattering negative four degrees Fahrenheit at kickoff, and the Chiefs’ defense seized the opportunity to turn things quickly against Miami.

The cold stadium served as an unforgiving stage, and alas, the Miami ‘heat’ succumbed to the icy grip of the Chiefs. Tua Tagovailoa and his offensive cohorts found themselves facing a frigid onslaught, managing only a lone score in a 26-7 triumph for the Chiefs. Yet, in the aftermath, the ‘calm’ quarterback displayed resilience and crafted a succinct yet impactful 4-word message.

He said,  “I’m not worried about that right now. Right now, it’s a moment for the guys in that locker room and our team, to be with one another, to soak in this and we’ll learn from that.”

While the Miami ensemble might not have hit the right targets, the spotlight fell sharply on Tua Tagovailoa. To upend the reigning Super Bowl kings, Tagovailoa needed to display a set of skills in all 3 departments. Alas, the performance fell short, completing only 20 of 39 passes for 199 yards and a solitary touchdown, tempered by an interception.

The aftermath echoes with the calls of fervent fans, some chanting for a quarterback shuffle. However, the Dolphins face a quarterback quandary with limited alternatives for the QB1’s throne. Tethered to a contract through the 2024 season, Tua Tagovailoa remains the maestro of Miami’s gridiron narrative.

2024 QB shuffle? Potentially not in Miami

Tua Tagovailoa is on the cusp of a Miami extension. But don’t expect the scenes to rival the eye-popping contracts of gridiron maestros like Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert. While Burrow cashes in at a whopping $275 million over five years, and Herbert locks in at $262.5 million, the Dolphins QB’s payday is slated to be more grounded. Market whispers suggest an annual tab of $50.4 million, translating to a solid $252 million over a five-year stint.

As the Dolphins gear up for the 2024 season, navigating through a sea of decisions, one thing remains crystal clear – the quarterback cards are firmly on the table. It appears the team might continue with their current QB to pursue his expected growth and potential overall in the next season. However, nothing remains of surety in the NFL world. What do you think about the situation of the Dolphins? And their chances of replacing the QB1? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
