I’m a fan of Tua the person not the player. But he came with class and left with class.

TUA REFLECTS: Tua Tagovailoa returned to Miami, heard the boos and left with a win over his former team. He still called his six years with the Dolphins “some of the best six years of my life.” https://t.co/tGewatz7Pd

TUA WINS IN RETURN: Tua Tagovailoa and the Atlanta Falcons picked up a 17-12 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Friday night in the quarterback’s return to Hard Rock Stadium. https://t.co/0kUjmEAi4q

[Ryan Mackey @RyanMackeyWPLG]

Patterson hits his 4th FG of the day. Hot take: his job is safe

[Ryan Mackey @RyanMackeyWPLG]

Pocket collapses and Gronowski is dragged down by James Pearce Jr. Interesting that he’s still in the game this late.

[Ryan Mackey @RyanMackeyWPLG]

A bobbled catch ends up in the hands of CB Miles Battle. Dolphins at the ATL 19

[Ryan Mackey @RyanMackeyWPLG]

What started off as a promising drive ends in another punt after Falcons D flushed Gronowski out of the pocket and made him lose a yard on third down.

[Ryan Mackey @RyanMackeyWPLG]

Gronowski finds AJ Henning who caught a short pass and turned it upfield for a gain of 37.

[Ryan Mackey @RyanMackeyWPLG]

@DKMfins I agree. But it looks like the Cam Miller era might be over after Gronowski is clearly outplaying him. Don’t be surprised if the Fins add one or 2 veteran QBs

[Ryan Mackey @RyanMackeyWPLG]

Gronowski was being looked at by trainers after he was pinned on the floor by Atlanta defenders during the fumble recovery. He’s OK.

[Ryan Mackey @RyanMackeyWPLG]

Spoke too soon because of course I did. Bad exchange in shotgun to Gronowski, ends up fumbling. Atlanta recovers.

[Ryan Mackey @RyanMackeyWPLG]

Gronowski finds Wease for a gain of 15 and another first down. He’s cookin

[Ryan Mackey @RyanMackeyWPLG]

Gronowski using his legs to pick up 2-straight first downs.

[Ryan Mackey @RyanMackeyWPLG]

Gronowski finds Reagor for 17 on a deep comeback route towards the sideline.

[Ryan Mackey @RyanMackeyWPLG]

Disappointing finish to that Dolphins drive. Miami was looking for their second TD of the preseason but Wease drops the ball wide open. Patterson connects on his third FG. ATL-17 MIA-9

[Ryan Mackey @RyanMackeyWPLG]

Gronowski finds a wide open Theo Wease Jr. who bobbles it and can’t come up with the ball in the end zone.

[Ryan Mackey @RyanMackeyWPLG]

Dolphins RB Carlos Washington Jr. bulldozes is way for 9 on fourth and 1 and sets up first and goal. But then gets stuffed 2 consecutive plays later.

[Ryan Mackey @RyanMackeyWPLG]

Gronowski airs it out for Marshall who made a nice adjustment to the ball and hauled in a 33-yard reception. Miami draws a pass interference on the next play.

[Ryan Mackey @RyanMackeyWPLG]

Rush finds RB Tyler Goodson on wheel route and Nick Folk hits it from 34-yards out to end the half. ATL-17 Miami-6

[Ryan Mackey @RyanMackeyWPLG]

Patterson connects from 45 yards and Miami cuts Atlanta’s lead to 8. It’s the first time all preseason that the Dolphins have scored on back-to-back drives.
