Tua Tagovailoa, QB for the Miami Dolphins, made his mark amongst the greats in a recent match. The 25-year-old helped lead the Dolphins to a win with his fantastic offense. On 11 September 2023, the Miami Dolphins faced off against the Los Angeles Chargers and were the victors in a head-to-head match. The Chargers were upstaged by a score of 36-34 and were dominated by the exceptional duo of the Dolphins.
Tua was drafted by the Dolphins in 2020 and prior to that, he was playing college football in Alabama. During his time there, he displayed tremendous skills and was even credited with being the Offensive MVP of the 2018 College National Championship. While he’s had his fair share of injuries in his career, he certainly proved his value in the team against the Chargers this past Sunday match.

The quarterback hasn’t always received due credit for his talent in the league. In 2022, he suffered a severe concussion and had to miss the Dolphins’ last few games of the season. This led to criticism from the fans who declared him a wash-out after he got injured in the match against the Green Bay Packers. Despite his absence from the matches, he was still able to finish first in the NFL in passer rating in the 2022 season.

This season opener has got the Dolphins’ fans hyped up. The pre-season wasn’t kind to them after their losses to the Jaguars and the Falcons. Yet, their players like Tyreek Hill, Tua Tagovailoa, Devon Achane, etc., look very promising and thus, have a very good chance of leading the team to a championship win.
The Miami Dolphins have won 2 out of 5 of their Super Bowl appearances. They haven’t been able to take home the trophy since 1974, a drastically long span of time. With players like Tua performing so brilliantly, maybe they will finally have a shot of being the champions after a gap of almost 49 years in the NFL.
