The AFC East is developing into a division to be reckoned with! I don't know that there any Super Bowl caliber teams in it other than the Bills, but top to bottom there are no easy wins...
At any rate, and staying in that division, Tua really got bailed out by a no-call PI. On Miami's final two meaningful (not counting the kneel-downs) possessions, he blew it:
- On 4th & a yard in the red zone, he significantly underthrew a wide-open-in-the-flat Durham Smyth.
- On 3rd & 10 at his own 23, he underthrew Jaylen Waddle on a long-ish pass.
Neither play would've clinched the win for the Dolphins, but either would've really put Chicago in difficult position... Then the refs totally missed an obvious PI call that would've put the Bears in game-tying FG range, at least...
As a long-suffering Dolphins fan, I'll take it. But still... On both plays Tua was under a bit of pressure, but both were, IMO, plays that very good QB's make... So I'm still not sold on Tua. My take is that he's back to what he was when he was at Alabama: Looking very good because he's surrounded by top talent... I still think he's a future clipboard-holder. I'll be pleasantly surprised if that turns out
not to be the case.
