Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa shows support for Tyreek Hill, family following house fire

Says he’s ready to ‘fight’ for AFC East title vs. Buffalo on SNF

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – There were matters more important than football to discuss for Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa at his press conference on Wednesday.

Tagovailoa spoke to reporters just moments after his teammate, wide receiver Tyreek Hill, had parts of his multi-million dollar home erupt in flames.

“It’s difficult to know what Tyreek is going through right now,” said Tagovailoa. “I think the main thing is his family is safe, his loved ones are good and he’s good as well.”

“Some of those things can be replaced but I’m just glad to know that everyone is safe,” he added.

A representative for the Miami Dolphins confirmed to Local 10 News that Hill’s family members were able to get out safely. They said he left practice to be with his family once he received word about the fire.

Footage from Sky 10 showed Hill speaking with relatives along with his agent Drew Rosenhaus outside his home around 3 p.m. At one point, he placed his hands together as if in prayer as he looked toward the sky.

According to Tagovailoa, Hill and his colleagues have asked for any help they can provide during this trying time for him and his family.

Tua talks about the Ravens’ problems while concentrating on the Bills in the AFC East division championship game.

Even though the Baltimore Ravens blew them out 56-19 last Sunday, Tagovailoa told reporters on Wednesday that he relishes the challenge of competing in the face of difficulty.

The most crucial thing in games like that, in his opinion, is that we keep fighting no matter what the scoreboard indicates. In light of that, he added, you don’t want to make things worse.
