“Hard Knocks: In Season with the Miami Dolphins” is coming to MAX next month, and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is not thrilled about being the subject of another weekly reality show while chasing the Super Bowl.

“That was probably my reaction,” Tagovailoa said on Wednesday after a long pause when asked about the show. “I have no control over that. That was probably not necessarily the best body language I’ve had in a team meeting as it was being introduced to us that we were going to be on ‘Hard Knocks.’ …

“For me I’m not going to let any of that affect how I prepare, how I talk in our meetings, with how we want to get things done and what we want to do. I’m going to be myself and I think the guys are going to do their best to be themselves as well, although it is different when there is a camera there while you’re trying to do something that’s very private. I’m sure that our PR team will do their best to help keep a lot of us out of trouble.”

Although he’s an NFL quarterback, Tagovailoa said he doesn’t relish the spotlight.

“I’m just not a big attention guy,” Tagovailoa said. “I understand it comes with the territory, and I’m able to use my platform for bigger things. But as far as me doing something silly purposefully outside of football, it’s just different for me. I like to keep things private in how I do things.

“But this isn’t just about me. This isn’t something that’s for me. This is something for the entire team, and the entire team has to figure out how they go about that as well, so I know having conversations with some guys in the locker room that for them, it’s going to be tough as well, so we’re all going to work through this together.”

While HBO and the NFL haven’t announced the times and dates for “Hard Knocks: In Season with the Miami Dolphins,” Tagovailoa will appear on his usual reality show on Sunday, when the Dolphins play the New England Patriots.

Miami is coming off a 31-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night and already owns a 24-17 victory over the Patriots on Sept. 17.

“I think the most important thing for our offense is we’re really going to have to hammer down the formations, hammer down the things that we have to know and then as we go out there, we’re going to have to nail it,” Tagovailoa said with the NFL’s highest-scoring offense coming off its lowest-scoring game. “We’re going to have to execute the plays and the plan that (coach) Mike (McDaniel) has set out for us.”

Tagovailoa has a 5-0 record against New England, even though he doesn’t have incredible stats in the victories – 95-of-138 passing for 975 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions and three of his six career touchdowns runs. But Tagovailoa has not played in two of Miami’s games against the Patriots during his career, and the Dolphins lost both.

“I attest that to our team,” Tagovailoa said about his record versus New England. “It’s a team win every time. That’s basically all it is. It’s not me, myself and the offense. The defense has got to get stops to allow those guys not to have points on the board, and we’ve got to go down and we’ve got to go score, so it’s a team win. …

“The respect I have for (Patriots) coach (Bill) Belichick and his team is high regards.”

Tagovailoa carries an NFL-record streak of 10 consecutive victories against Super Bowl-winning coaches. During the streak, which began after a 33-27 loss to Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs on Dec. 13, 2020, Tagovailoa and the Dolphins have beaten Belichick five times, Sean Payton twice and Jon Gruden, John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin once apiece.

The victory over Gruden and the Las Vegas Raiders could carry an asterisk for Tagovailoa because veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick came in for the rookie QB and pulled out 26-25 victory for Miami on Dec. 26, 2020. But that is balanced by Tagovailoa, who’d been sidelined by a broken finger, coming off the bench in the second half to relieve Jacoby Brissett and help the Dolphins post a 22-10 victory over Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens on Nov. 11, 2021.

While he doesn’t have a 10-game winning streak at Hard Rock Stadium, Tagovailoa does have a strong record in home games. Although Tagovailoa has averaged almost 40 more passing yards per game on the road than at home, Miami has an 18-4 record at home and a 10-11 mark on the road when Tagovailoa has played.

“I think for one, it’s the fans that we have,” Tagovailoa said of the home success. “The fans definitely make the atmosphere one to remember as far as third downs. They’re really loud. And it’s when the guys go out there, and we’re all warming up, the guys see the crowd, the guys are playing catch with the fans. We get to see our families. It’s just an atmosphere that we feel comfortable in, so it’s always important for us to get a dub every time we play here.

“But it’s important for us to win any time, whether it’s home, away, it doesn’t matter. We want to get a win anytime we can.”

The Dolphins and Patriots will square off at noon CDT Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Miami has a 2-5 record. New England is 2-5 after beating the Buffalo Bills 29-25 on Sunday.
