Tua Tagovailoa led Miami to another 4th quarter come-from-behind win today, but the game may be more noteworthy for what happened in the 2nd quarter.

Tagovailoa reportedly passed concussion tests during halftime, and was wobbly due to a back injury suffered earlier in the game. The NFL Players Association has already announced that it wants a review initiated to make ure concussion protocols were followed.
