Disastrous launch of Bremen's fresh Sea Devils video game project by new developers
Taulia Tagovailoa's Rough ELF Debut: Here's the lowdown on Taulia Tagovailoa's disappointing start with the Hamburg Sea Devils in the European League of Football (ELF). As the brother of NFL star Tua Tagovailoa (Miami Dolphins), fans were excited to see him take the field, but things didn't go as planned.
In his inaugural game for the Sea Devils, Taulia, 25, ended up throwing a disastrous interception for a touchdown during his first toss in the Hamburg jersey. In the crushing 14:53 loss against Stuttgart Surge, he only completed five of his 17 passes, managing a paltry 85 yards.

The short turnaround since Taulia's arrival in Germany may have left him struggling to adjust to the style of play amongst his teammates. Adding to his woes was a poor showing by the Sea Devils' offensive line and receivers in this match.
It's clear that Hamburg's defense also had its troubles, putting them in a tight spot against the fierce Stuttgart team. By halftime (0:40), Taulia had already been replaced by backup quarterback Moritz Maack, who boosted the team spirit by leading them to a pair of touchdowns, albeit cosmetic ones in the grand scheme.

Following their second defeat in the third ELF season game, the demoralized Sea Devils are set to return home. They'll be welcoming Berlin Thunder to Stadion Hoheluft on June 7, 6 pm local time. It's the perfect chance for Taulia Tagovailoa to prove his worth and show the team and the fans that his signing was the right move.
As a former Maryland and Hamilton Tiger-Cats quarterback, Taulia boasts an impressive resume, having been the Big Ten's all-time passing leader and gaining pro experience in the CFL15. Hopefully, as he settles in, we'll see him regain his form and lead the Sea Devils to victories in the ELF. But for now, let's remain optimistic as he learns from this hiccup in his new journey.
Taulia Tagovailoa's performance in European football leagues, specifically the European League of Football (ELF), got off to a rocky start, as he struggled in his debut game with the Hamburg Sea Devils, his first pass resulting in a disastrous interception for a touchdown. Despite his extensive background in American football, playing for Maryland and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Taulia still faces challenges adapting to the ELF style of play.
