Tua Tagovailoa performed the sport of his life in opposition to the Ravens

With 26 seconds left within the third quarter, Ravens QB Lamar Jackson ran 79 yards untouched into the endzone to place the Ravens up 35-14. The sport appeared over for Miami, who’s offense felt listless.

Then Tua Tagovailoa occurred.

The Dolphins QB was on fireplace within the second half, ending with 469 yards and 6 touchdowns to steer the Miami Dolphins to a comeback victory over the Ravens. Tagovailoa seemingly hit each move within the second half, going downfield for 2 landing strikes to Tyreek Hill. On the second, a move over 60 yards, the Ravens had a protection bust. Rookie CB Jalyn Armour-Davis anticipated security assist excessive, and permits Hill to run proper previous him with out touching him. Not nice!

On the landing that may give the Dolphins the lead, Jaylen Waddle runs an arrow route, breaking out earlier than spinning again to the within, profiting from, as soon as once more, Jalyn Armour-Davis:

Waddle and Hill each completed with over 150 receiving yards, the primary receiving duo to have 10+ catches, 150+ receiving yards, and a couple of+ touchdowns. Mixed with Tagovailoa, the Dolphins have been the primary workforce in NFL historical past with a participant recording 400+ passing yards and 5+ TDs and two teammates with 170+ receiving yards and a couple of+ receiving touchdowns in the identical recreation.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was actually nice in playcalling right now, scheming up passes over the center that remoted Waddle and Hill in house the place they might work in opposition to slower gamers. For the sport, the Dolphins have been extraordinarily profitable in all aspects of the sport, and that second half they exploded (per RBSDM).

Earlier than the season, the most important query for the Dolphins was if Tua would be capable to make all of the throws (I used to be among the many individuals who didn’t imagine). Nevertheless, if the Dolphins can proceed to scheme up performs downfield, and Waddle/Hill may be the dynamic receiver duo they have been right now, Tua ought to be capable to succeed on this offense.

Let’s benefit from the comeback although, and the way spectacular Tagovailoa was in simply his greatest profession recreation.
