The Miami Dolphins suffered a tough loss last Thursday, but there are still plenty of reasons to be optimistic for the rest of the season.

But things took an abrupt turn with Tua Tagovailoa’s now infamous injury, and the life was essentially sucked out of the players and the game itself, as the Dolphins lost by 12 points to the reigning AFC champions.

Given the media backlash on Friday, it would be easy to believe that life could be sucked out of the 2022 season entirely.
