Taulia Tagovailoa
Inconsistent in first start
Tagovailoa completed 21 of 40 passes for 171 yards with one touchdown and one interception while rushing four times for 23 yards in the Aviators' 45-7 loss to the Defenders on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Tagovailoa drew the start with both Hunter Dekkers (shoulder) and Nolan Henderson (finger) sidelined, and as his final numbers imply, put together a mixed bag of a UFL debut. Tagovailoa technically had one pro football regular-season pass attempt on his resume before Saturday, as he'd completed his one throw while suiting up for the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 2025. The Maryland product completed passes to seven different targets overall, and he connected with spring league veteran Justin Hall for his one touchdown from six yards out in the latter portion of the third quarter. Tagovailoa will line up for another start in a Week 4 home matchup against the Kings on Thursday night if both Dekkers and Henderson remain sidelined.
