The Miami Dolphins face a challenging path to the playoffs, currently holding a 5-7 record. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa expressed his surprise at the team's struggles, attributing part of the blame to himself for his injury earlier in the season.

Despite his strong performances since returning, the Dolphins have only managed a 2-2 record with him back. The team's offensive collapse during his absence raises questions about their backup quarterback strategy and overall preparedness.
