Indianapolis Colts cornerback Xavien Howard gave insight into how the defense shut down Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
The Colts romped the Dolphins 33-8 in their season opener on Sunday. Tagovailoa was held to just 114 yards passing and a single garbage-time touchdown against two interceptions and a fumble. Speaking to the press after practice Monday, Howard—who played his first 8 seasons with Miami—said that once they got Tagovailoa off his first read, he broke down and the defense was able to take advantage.
