Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa endured a tough start to the 2025 campaign, as he turned the ball over three times in a 33-8 rout at the hands of the Indianapolis Colts. One of the architects behind Tagovailoa's struggles was none other than former Dolphins cornerback—and current Colts starter—Xavien Howard. And Howard was not too shy when it came to speaking about how the Colts defense got to his former teammate.
"Most definitely," Howard said when asked if he could tell when a QB is confused or flustered. "We knew the guy, he gets the ball out pretty quick. And once we take away his first read, I feel like it's panic mode after that. And it showed yesterday. We took away his first read and he was trying to get rid of the ball quick."
