"Tua trying to get Mike McDaniel fired," another fan commented. "The next Nobel Prize will go to whoever explains what the hell Tua wanted to do with that sh*tty pass!" one fan said.

More reactions followed.

"What are the Dolphins even doing?" another fan said. "I know the game is over but what on earth was this man thinking LMFAO," one fan tweeted. "Imagine that feeling," a fan commented.

The Dolphins put themselves in position to win with 46 seconds left. Tagovailoa had an eight-play drive and finished with a one yard touchdown to tight end Darren Waller. It gave him and the team a 27-26 lead.

The Chargers responded quickly. A long kickoff return by Nyheim Hines after the Waller touchdown gave LA a favorable field position. A touchdown pass from Justin Herbert to rookie receiver Ladd McConkey put the Chargers in field goal position. Cameron Dicker completed the comeback with a field goal as time expired from 33 yards away.

Tagovailoa recorded 205 passing yards and three interceptions. One came on a ball that was deflected off Jaylen Waddle’s hands early in the game. Another was on an inaccurate throw in the third quarter, and the last interception sealed the Dolphins’ fate on a possible last-minute comeback.

Dolphins running back De'Von Achane scored two touchdowns, and had a big run early in the first quarter. Midway through the fourth, he scored on a short run to cut the deficit to six. Tua Tagovailoa led the drive before the defense failed late.

LA found repeated success on the ground against Miami’s front, with little-used running back Kimani Vidal shredding the defense for over 100 rushing yards. A missed open-field tackle by rookie safety Dante Trader on Justin Herbert’s late heave to McConkey proved pivotal, setting up the Chargers’ final push.

Miami attempted to change personnel on defense, including cornerback Ethan Bonner and linebacker K.J. Britt getting a larger role. However, neither could stop LA when it was most important.
