Tua Tagovailoa struggled on his first two drives, taking sacks on each, having a pass batted in the backfield and missing at least one open receiver. Protection issues included Danny Striggow wrapping up Tagovailoa on third-and-6 and Pharaoh Brown being beaten on the second drive while right guard James Daniels tried to slide over. The offense broke through on a third series when Tagovailoa's short pass to Malik Washington became a 25-yard touchdown after a juke. Tagovailoa finished 4-of-8 for 49 yards and a touchdown, added a successful two-point conversion to Brown, and connected with Jaylen Waddle for an 8-yard completion. Chop Robinson recorded a sack on the game's first play.
But going out for a third drive that bled into the early minutes of the second quarter, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the offensive starters got their preseason touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Hard Rock Stadium. Tagovailoa threw a short pass to slot receiver Malik Washington, and Washington put a juke move on a reserve Jaguars defender to take it 25 yards for the touchdown.
Tagovailoa took a sack on each of the first two drives. First, he tucked the ball away on a third-and-6 where Jacksonville had his receivers covered for defensive end Danny Striggow to wrap up Tagovailoa. On the second drive, tight end Pharaoh Brown was beat to his outside shoulder against defensive end B.J. Green II, while right guard James Daniels was trying to get over to the left side of the line to help.
