Winners of four of their last five games, the Miami Dolphins still have life in the AFC playoff race. A year after an 11-win season, Miami lost franchise quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to a concussion for a significant chunk of the 2024 campaign. However, Tagovailoa returned in Week 8 with the team holding a poor 2-4 record, and after back-to-back losses in his return, has the Dolphins humming.
On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins played a back-and-forth affair against the New York Jets in a 32-26 overtime win. In the win, Tagovailoa went 33-of-47 for 321 yards and two touchdowns, suitable for a 104.1 quarterback rate. Following the elite performance, Tagovailoa earned high praise from one NFL Hall of Famer.
