The entire NFL audience watching Monday's Miami Dolphins win over the Los Angeles Rams collectively screamed when they saw Tua Tagovailoa lower his head to make a tackle after a turnover.

Of course, Tagovailoa's history of head injuries was on everyone's minds -- remember, he suffered another one earlier this season -- but the Dolphins QB was OK after getting hit despite everyone's concerns.

On top of that, he was asked about lowering his head after the game and he actually joked about it: "That was pretty bad tackling form, though," he said with a smile.

Thank goodness it wasn't much worse.
