The Green Bay Packers delivered the Miami Dolphins their first defeat in four games during Thursday night’s matchup. Green Bay surged to a 24-3 advantage in the initial half and maintained their lead throughout.
The game concluded with a score of 30-17, boosting Green Bay to a 9-3 record this season. Meanwhile, Miami’s aspirations for the playoffs suffered a blow as they dropped to 5-7. Some NFL enthusiasts are speculating that the Packers’ defense deliberately aimed to injure Tua Tagovailoa with another head trauma.
The 26-year-old quarterback missed four games earlier this season due to a concussion sustained in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills, marking the third confirmed concussion of his career. Dave Furones from the Sun Sentinel circulated a video clip showing Packers defenders sacking Tagovailoa.
Furones accused Green Bay players of deliberately targeting his head: “Packers kick Tua in the head five seconds post-play, yet the unnecessary roughness penalty is on the Dolphins. Well done, refs,” a fan commented. “Tua took about 15 headshots as the Packers were standing up from the pile,” another fan noted. “The Packers need to stop slamming Tua’s head on the ground,” said an observer. “These refs!
They robbed the Dolphins of a fumble, then Tua got his head stepped on and received a bogus penalty. It was the Packers player who initiated the push!” another agitated fan remarked. “If that were Mahomes or Allen, a flag would be thrown immediately,” a user stated. “Yeah, I thought that seemed rather unnecessary,” a fan wrote. “I noticed the same issue.
One player literally shoved his head into the ground. The league should investigate this,” another viewer suggested.
