While the win may have given Miami a boost, the path to securing it was far from smooth.</p><p>Early momentum, late stagnation, and unnecessary pressure moments turned the game into a tense battle for survival, which once looked like a blowout through halftime, when the Dolphins were leading 16-0. A key narrative entering the matchup centered around <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-ex-nfl-qb-blasts-tua-tagovailoa-for-creating-witch-hunt">quarterback Tua Tagovailoa facing skepticism</a> due to Miami’s inconsistent offensive finishes this season.</p><p>Tagovailoa ended the night with 157 passing yards, no touchdowns, and one interception, a risky deep ball floated into double coverage right after the Miami defense created a turnover. Even after earning the win, the quarterback refused to deflect criticism, <a href="https://dolphinswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/dolphins/2025/11/30/tua-tagovailoa-dolphins-saints-offense/87542581007/" rel="noopener">choosing instead to absorb it</a>.</p><p>“It definitely starts with me, starts with my performance with how I distribute the ball, how I operate the guys,” Tagovailoa said via Dolphins Wire. “When I’m able to distribute the ball well, the [offense does] well, and the run game helps with that. So as I said, that starts with me.”</p><p>That accountability resonated in the locker room because Miami’s late scoring drought directly challenged his leadership narrative, even if the film says others deserve the finger-pointing. Tagovailoa finished 12 of 23 passing for 157 yards, adding no rushing impact.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Tua Tagovailoa is picked off…</p><p>His 14th INT of the season.</p><p>That was an AWFUL throw 😬<a href="https://t.co/TXZoUNAJi0">pic.twitter.com/TXZoUNAJi0</a></p><p>— Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL_DovKleiman/status/1995204409970807102?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 30, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The Saints’ defense forced constant movement, collapsing Miami’s protection and bringing him down for four sacks.

The Week 11 victory, Miami’s first win in a European venue since 2014, bumped their record to 4–7. It also gave quarterback Tua Tagovailoa his long-awaited breakthrough overseas after previous losses in London and Frankfurt.</p><p>Tagovailoa has now appeared in three international games in his career. In 2021, he threw for 329 yards and two touchdowns on 33-of-47 passing in a 23–20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. In 2023, he recorded 193 yards and one touchdown on 21-of-34 passing in Frankfurt, where Miami lost 21–14 to the Kansas City Chiefs.</p><p>Tagovailoa completed 14 of 20 passes for 171 yards with no touchdowns, no interceptions, and three sacks against the Commanders. The Dolphins relied heavily on running back De’Von Achane, who totaled 120 rushing yards on 21 carries along with five receptions for 45 yards. Washington nearly stole the game, but its 56-yard attempt in the final seconds missed right, allowing Miami to escape. On the first snap of overtime, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-jack-jones-called-shot-hero-commanders">Jack Jones intercepted Marcus Mariota</a>, leading to Riley Patterson’s 29-yard walk-off field goal.</p><p>After the win, Tagovailoa was asked which international destination he’d like to see next. He first mentioned Hawaii, where his family still lives, before <a href="https://twitter.com/Schultz_Report/status/1990168019364962404" rel="noopener">offering a more surprising answer</a>.</p><p>“Shoot, it’d be pretty cool to go play in Jerusalem. … That’d be sick,” he said (h/t NFL Insider Jordan Schultz).</p><p>His answer was unexpected, given the NFL has never held a regular-season game in the Middle East and has expressed no interest in doing so. The region’s ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis make such a game highly unlikely, and logistical challenges further complicate the idea. Jerusalem’s two stadiums, with more than 30,000 seats, both fall short of the NFL’s smallest international attendance benchmark, of over 47,000, which was used in prior global games.</p><p>The game concluded the seventh international contest of the 2025 season, joining earlier matchups in Brazil, Ireland, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The league’s International Series, which began in 2007, continues to expand, with future games scheduled in Mexico and the UK, and the first-ever game in Australia set for 2026.

Despite the impacts of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-miamis-pathetic-season-hits-new-low-immediately-bills">frustrating season for the Dolphins showing immediately when the game started</a>, the team turned on a different switch, leading to the domination as Tagovailoa spoke about the win.</p><p>Tagovailoa would throw for 173 yards to go along with two touchdowns and two interceptions as Achane rushed 174 yards with two scores, and the leading receiver was Jaylen Waddle, catching five passes for 84 yards. With the defense also giving star quarterback Josh Allen and a talented offense problems, Tagovailoa would go into the <a href="https://x.com/schadjoe/status/1987635142639182323" rel="noopener">“special”</a> win and how <a href="https://x.com/schadjoe/status/1987634509156655214" rel="noopener">“proud”</a> he is of the team, according to Joe Schad.</p><p>“This is more special that it’s against Buffalo. A division rival that has had our number,” Tagovailoa said.</p><p>“We beat a great team today, and I’m proud of the guys in the locker room,” Tagovailoa continued. “Defense did what they needed to do, offense did what we needed to do to some extent. And then special teams, they did what they needed to do to help us collectively win this football game. So I’m proud of the team, proud of those guys in that locker room. And this is one of those where, like, I want to say, like, I’m very proud, because I see the work that they put in, day in and day out. And this is one that, you know, I think they deserve.

As discussed on The Rich Eisen Show, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-rumors-tua-tagovailoas-contract-save-mike-mcdaniels-job">Tua Tagovailoa’s four-year, $212.4 million extension</a>, with more than 50 million fully guaranteed in 2026, makes the job far less attractive to outside candidates, which creates a plausible scenario where the Dolphins keep McDaniel and run it back with Tua for one more season while a new front office reshapes the roster.</p><p>From there, Ian Rapoport outlined on NFL.com how Miami <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/dolphins-open-to-trading-ahead-of-deadline-as-miami-faces-questions-on-tua-tagovailoa-mike-mcdaniel" rel="noopener">could navigate a “viable” path</a> on Tua if performance does not rebound. Tagovailoa leads the league with 11 interceptions, and although he found his highest ceiling under McDaniel, the team is on the hook for 57 million next year.</p><p>Rapoport detailed three options Miami will weigh this offseason: continue with Tua as the 2026 guarantees approach, execute a prohibitively expensive release that would rival the Russell Wilson precedent, or facilitate a trade by paying down a portion of his 2025 money to place him as a bridge starter for a team grooming a young quarterback. In a pre-June 1 trade, Miami would carry 45.2 million in dead cap, which is painful but more manageable than an outright cut.</p><p>Rapoport also reported this week on how open the interim front office might be to broader moves before the deadline. With Chris Grier out, the phone lines are open. Calls on Jaylen Waddle have been entertained, not encouraged, and any deal would require a massive return given his age and production.</p><p>There is significant interest in edge rushers Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb, with different cap profiles that affect price. The expectation is at least one move before Tuesday, possibly more, as Miami recalibrates both the cap table and its 2026 posture.</p><p>Miami’s quarterback room behind Tua is part of the calculus. Zach Wilson has resumed the No. 2 role with 33 career starts, while seventh-round rookie Quinn Ewers has impressed enough to be Tua’s primary backup for a game and continues to trend up in practice. A benching is not the plan, but Rapoport made clear it is not off the table if the slide continues.</p><p>In the most recent home loss that dropped Miami to 2-7, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-tua-tagovailoa-ravens-fans-miami">Tua acknowledged how loud Ravens fans were</a> at Hard Rock Stadium. Per David Furones of the Sun Sentinel, he linked an early Larry Borom false start to crowd noise from Baltimore supporters in Miami, a striking admission that underscored how quickly the home-field edge has eroded.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
