Amid their preparations for a matchup with the Bengals (-4) on Thursday Night Football, the Dolphins decided to hold some of their walkthroughs at Nippert Stadium — home of the Cincinnati Bearcats college football team.
And while several Miami players, including Tua Tagovailoa, walked away from Wednesday’s practice, a Cincinnati fan decided to try and heckle Tagovailoa. How? By hammering on his college football career with the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Rather than take any offense to the fan’s words, Tagovailoa calmly looked in the direction of the fan and shut him down with a reference to the Bearcats’ 27-6 loss to Alabama in last year’s College Football Playoff:

“Y’all lost to us!” Phew, nothing more needs to be said.
Good for Tagovailoa. After how well he’s played during the Dolphins’ strong contending start, this is yet more poise from one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks in the early goings of the 2022 season.
