The Miami Dolphins were considered dead by Halloween this season. They stood with a pathetic 1-7 record and showed no signs of improvement. It felt as if quarterback Tua Tagovailoa would be having a flop season after all. But then something started to happen. The Dolphins started to pick up the pace. Now the NFL is talking about them becoming the first team to make the playoffs with a 1-7 record mid-season.
Tagovailoa has stepped up from a phase of complete criticism to a phase of absolute appreciation in the same season. The Dolphins now hold a seven-game winning streak after defeating the New Orleans Saints Week 16. The Dolphins have been through an emotional roller coaster this season, making it an exciting campaign for the fans.
