“Well, of course I did,” Tagovailoa told reporters after the game. “But, you know, needless to say, like, being able to come back here, like, I’ve had six years here, and those are probably some of the best six years of my life, being able to, you know, play for Miami, being able to be in front of the crowd.
“You know, I mean, [I] had a Pro Bowl here, like, had a good amount of accolades. So, regardless of the reaction, like, I mean, I love the city. We have a home out here. Like, we still have our house and whatnot. But, I mean, it is what it is.

So it was a cool homecoming, if you will.”
