Reason #2 – Tua Tagovailoa will bounce back:
Even though Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa didn’t have the best game back vs the Pittsburgh Steelers, I fully expect him to bounce back vs the Lions.
Why?
The Detroit Lions have a bottom-10 passing defense that has been giving up an average of 249.5 yards passing. The Lions have given up a lot of this yardage to the likes of studs like Carson Wentz, Bailey Zappe, Kirk Cousins, and Dak Prescott. (who didn’t play for 6 weeks due to injury).
And even though Tua was definitely off on a lot of passes in week 7, he still made some great plays and throws like this one:
.@Tua scrambles and finds @RMos_8Ball for 6!

Just to name a few, there’s no reason the Dolphins shouldn’t be taking advantage of the matchups. And if the run game gets going then that will open up the passing game for plays over the top.
Hill, Waddle… go deep!
