The Bengals took over, and following a big play by Ja'Marr Chase, Joe Burrow found Hayden Hurst for a touchdown to put this game out of reach. Bridgewater's inexperience with the supporting cast ended up costing Miami in the end, however, as he threw an interception after crossing midfield while trailing 20-15 because he and Mike Gesicki had a miscommunication. The former Viking and Saint took the field and immediately led a touchdown drive to close out the opening half. Miami, realizing that Tagovailoa was such an injury risk, made sure it obtained a viable backup in Teddy Bridgewater. It's not clear how long he'll be out of the lineup. However, this is yet another setback to his career. The good news is that Tagovailoa has motion in his extremities and will travel back to Miami with his team. Tagovailoa was on the ground for minutes before taken off the field on a stretcher. He took a brutal sack midway through the second quarter when defensive tackle Josh Tupou flung him down fiercely, but legally. Tagovailoa was able to take the field on a short week, but his game ended prematurely. He got hurt once again last week when he appeared to suffer a concussion, but was later diagnosed with some sort of a back problem. From his days at Alabama, he's been plagued by injury. Tua Tagovailoa has never been able to stay healthy.
