MIAMI -- The Miami Dolphins consider themselves subscribers to the "next man up" philosophy.
But even so, when injured quarterback Tua Tagovailoa left in the first quarter of Sunday's 35-0 loss to the Buffalo Bills, it was a shift in momentum that Miami never recovered from.
"It hurt losing Tua," Dolphins defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah said. "But hopefully he's back next week."
Tagovailoa was carted off to the locker room with a rib injury after taking a hit from Bills defensive end AJ Epenesa during Miami's second drive of the game.
