Tua’s Return, Falcons’ QB Uncertainty | Atlanta News

Tua Tagovailoa made a triumphant, if controversial, return to Miami as the Atlanta Falcons edged out the Dolphins 17-12 in their final preseason game — and he looked elite, throwing for 95 yards on 7-of-8 passes with a stellar 116.1 passer rating. Despite boos from the crowd, Tua acknowledged the emotional weight of the moment, calling it a “cool homecoming” amid his six stellar seasons in Miami. The Falcons’ QB battle remains unresolved: while healthy Michael Penix Jr. is still favored to start Week 1, Tagovailoa’s performance could force a rethink — especially as roster cuts loom before Sunday’s deadline. The real test? Who takes the field on September 13th. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
