With the Patriots in shambles and a division title improbably within reach, the Miami Dolphins have hit fast-forward on the Tua Tagovailoa era
Everybody expected Tua Tagovailoa to be the Miami Dolphins’ starting quarterback but few had him playing that role so soon. The Dolphins had a plan in place that involved starting perennial place-holder Ryan Fitzpatrick, allowing Tagovailoa some time to adjust to the pros. The plan changed last week when the Dolphins decided that now was the time to install the Alabama product as the QB. It was a curious move given how well the Dolphins had played under Fitzpatrick, but one which makes sense when factoring in that Miami has a legitimate reason to think it will be making a return trip to the postseason.
