The NFL and NFL Players’ Association says Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa did not show or report concussion symptoms until a day after playing the Packers.

Week 17 on the NFL season falls on New Year’s Day, where many NFL teams will be able to get a head start on their New Year’s resolutions for 2023.

Veteran Teddy Bridgewater will make his second start of the season for Miami to give Tagovailoa time “to focus on his health.”

Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins both need to think about their future plans following the QB’s second stint in the NFL’s concussion protocol.

The Green Bay Packers are knocking on the door of the playoffs in a season where that notion felt farfetched earlier this season.

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw three interceptions on consecutive drives in the fourth quarter, and the Dolphins fell at home 26-20 to the Packers.

The Bengals looked primed for easy win against the Patriots. That was until they allowed 18 unanswered points … but still escaped with win.

The Dolphins (8-6) will host the Green Bay Packers on Christmas Day, hoping to snap a three-game losing streak.

Here are five teams that could bring some fear to a Super Bowl contender if/when they get into the playoff mix by season’s end.
