Former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa waited until Week 5 to see his first NFL action against the New York Jets where he completed two passes in the final two minutes of the contest. Now, in Week 6, he gets his frst career start and wasted no time getting touchdown No. 1 of his career.
After a very shaky start that began with a lost fumble on the second play for the Dolphins offense, the No. 5 overall selection by Miami capitalized on a Jared Goff interception that allowed Tagovailoa to begin his third drive right outside the red zone.
His first career touchdown came on a three-yard pass to DeVante Parker. The play came with a defensive pass interference penalty that made Parker’s catch look very impressive.
Tagovailoa’s pass was placed right where only Parker could make the catch.
With some time left in the first quarter and three quarters of the game remaining, Miami will look to further utilize the Crimson Tide product and take the lead on the game-tying touchdown.
You can watch the touchdown pass below.
