On Thursday night, the Miami Dolphins and Tua Tagovailoa lost 17-30 to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
It was a poor game for Miami, but Dolphins fans have uncovered a clip of a Packers defender making “unnecessary” contact with Tagovailoa’s head.
It came after a three-yard tackle-for-loss when Lukas Van Ness tried to stand up after bringing Tua down and pushed his hands onto his helmet.

Dolphins fans think the clip is enough to label it “dirty,” with some asking the league to review the play.
“I noticed the same thing. One guy literally pushed his head against the ground. The league should review this,” one fan remarked.

“Dirtiest Team in The League!!” another said.
“I noticed the same thing. One guy literally pushed his head against the ground. The league should review this,” said another.
“Packers are a bush league team,” a third person wrote.
“I would say “no” as people can’t be that evil, but I haven’t seen a QB get kneed twice in the head like this in many years. Just a coincidence? #thingsThatMakeYouGoHmmm,” continued a fourth.

“Yeah I thought that looked quite unnecessary,” a fifth added.
“Noticed it live and did not look accidental,” another pointed out about the hit on Tagovailoa.
“Dirty players in green bay,” a fan wrote.

Tua Tagovailoa Had A Decent Game
Despite the two-score loss, Tagovailoa had a very solid game.
He completed 37 of 46 passes for 365 yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions, and a 114.2 passer rating.
Unfortunately, Tua started playing well just too early in the game, and there was not enough time for a late-game comeback.
It also seems like the playoffs are out of reach for the Dolphins, who had high aspirations going into the season.
