Tua Tagovailoa could only get a laugh out of the referee after trying to get an unnecessary roughness call against the Chiefs on Sunday.
The Chiefs and Dolphins are playing out what looks to be headed for a thrilling end in Frankfurt, Germany, with Mike McDaniel’s team on the comeback trail after going down 21-0 in the first half. They’ve cut the lead down to a single score, having put 14 points on the board in the third quarter while the Chiefs look a bit subdued after the half.
At one point, Tua made a scramble before going to ground to avoid a tackle. He did end up getting hit, but it was only because one of his teammates threw a Chiefs player into him while he was grounded.
As shown below, the ref couldn’t help but laugh after he asked for a call.
Better luck next time, Tua.
