Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa heard the boos in Miami, still has love for the city https://t.co/rjd2GnN8c1 Via @jjones9 on X

What happened: The Falcons quarterback led a touchdown drive and lost a fumble during three first-quarter series. Atlanta won its preseason finale 17-12.

Why it matters: The appearance came five months after Tua Tagovailoa's return to Miami took shape. His performance added another evaluation point in Atlanta's unsettled quarterback competition.

By the numbers: Tagovailoa finished 7-of-8 passing for 95 yards, an 87.5% completion rate. He directed one touchdown drive and committed one turnover across three series.

What to watch: Atlanta must settle its 53-man roster and determine its Week 1 quarterback.
