There are some things that are bigger than the game of football.
On Thursday night, Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa suffered what appeared to be a very serious concussion against the Cincinnati Bengals that resulted in him being stretchered from the field and taken to a local hospital.
His team gathered at midfield in support of the young player, with Coach Mike McDaniel at Tua’s side before he was carted away.
The Dolphins would end up losing the hard-fought contest to the Bengals by a score of 27-15. It is fair to wonder if things would have been different if Tagovailoa didn’t suffer the head injury, but that’s not what we’re here to do with this column today.
