In a devastating blow to the Miami Dolphins, their star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and edge rusher Bradley Chubb sustained injuries late in a one-sided game against the Baltimore Ravens. As the Ravens added insult to injury by scoring two more touchdowns, questions are being raised about the decision to keep the Dolphins' best players on the field during a blowout.

Trailing 42-19 with just over eight minutes remaining, Tagovailoa attempted to convert on fourth down with a scramble for nine yards. However, his left shoulder took a hard hit during an awkward slide, leaving him injured and in considerable pain. Although initially listed as questionable to return, Tagovailoa ultimately did not come back to play due to the Ravens' commanding lead of 56-19.

Throughout the game, Tagovailoa had a mixed performance, completing 22 of 38 passes for 237 yards. He managed to throw two touchdowns, but also experienced two interceptions that contributed to the Dolphins' struggles against the dominant Ravens defense.

Adding to the Dolphins' woes, it was in the closing minutes of the game that Bradley Chubb suffered a non-contact knee injury. Viewers watching the broadcast heard Chubb's cries of pain as he lay on the field. Ultimately, he had to be carted off, leaving the team without another key defensive player. Unfortunately, Chubb's injury came on top of the season-ending loss of edge rusher Jaelen Phillips, further decimating the Dolphins' defense.

This blowout loss to the Ravens highlights not only the Dolphins' struggling performance, but also raises questions about the coaching decisions made by Head Coach Mike McDaniel. Critics argue that keeping their best players on the field late in the game, even as the score gap widened, was unnecessary and put them at greater risk of injury.

As the Dolphins now face the aftermath of a demoralizing defeat and the potential loss of two key players, fans and pundits alike will be eagerly awaiting an explanation from Coach McDaniel. The coming days will provide insight into the severity of Tagovailoa and Chubb's injuries, as well as the Dolphins' strategy moving forward to overcome their recent setbacks.

It remains to be seen how the Dolphins will regroup and recover from this blowout loss, but one thing is clear: changes may be necessary to ensure the team's success and protect their valuable assets in future games.
