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).
