Tua Tagovailoa has pulled up the most spectacular comebacks this season. After sustaining two career-threatening injuries, he pulled a successful recovery and returned to the war zone. The QB1 opened the year with massive success, and he also pulled up a good victory in his revival. It led to a prominent sports analyst comparing Tagovailoa with the NBA GOAT Michael Jordan over one aspect.

The Saturday Night showdown between the Dolphins and Steelers marked the return of Tua Tagovailoa. Despite a subpar deliverance, his triumphant homecoming helped end the Miami Dolphins’ three-game winless run. It may look like an early return for someone whose injuries shook the entire league. But the QB1 pulled a rebound and received some critique from Bill Simmons.
Analyst Bill Simmons tweeted his thoughts on Tua Tagovailoa after the time game on Twitter. He mentioned, “Tua is the Michael Jordan of dropped picks.”

Tua Tagovailoa finished 21 of 35 throws for 261 yards and a score. It elated the Miami crowd to see the QB1 back in action. Their excitement went over the roof when Tagovailoa connected with RB Raheem Mostert during an eight-yard TD pass. Next Sunday, the Dolphins will play the Detroit Lions.
The QB1 performed admirably on his return, despite having traces of stiffness. In the first half, he looked intense and guided the Dolphins’ attacking crew. However, Tagovailoa’s performance could have been much worse if Pittsburgh hadn’t missed several interceptions.
