There was good Tua, and there was bad Tua in the Miami Dolphins’ preseason opener against the Chicago Bears on Saturday afternoon at Soldier Field.
On one hand, Dolphins’ second-year quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed eight consecutive passes, looking decisive and precise over his second and third series against a tough Bears defense. Then, he threw an interception in the end zone, unable to convert an impressive drive into points.
Tagovailoa, the former Alabama standout, had tight end Adam Shaheen open in the end zone from 14 yards out, but he found him too late. By the time he threw it, Bears safety DeAndre Houston-Carson stepped in front of Shaheen for an easy interception.
