The Miami Dolphins have found a spark with rookie Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback. The franchise made the decision to start the former top five pick out of the bye week, and have won three straight games. Now, Tagovailoa has a chance to do something that has only been done once by a rookie quarterback in the NFL.
If the Dolphins defeat the Denver Broncos on Sunday, the Alabama record-holder will join Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger as the only quarterbacks to win their first four starts.
Roethlisberger did it in 2004, and now Tua has a shot to do it in 2020 against a Broncos team that has been deeply affected by injuries all season.
Tagovailoa has been impressive, while being helped by an improved defense this season. Nevertheless, it has been a fascinating story to watch the former Alabama star overcome his horrific injuries in 2019 to make an impact in the NFL.
On Sunday, Tua has a shot to make some more history.
