South Florida is going crazy for Tua Tagovailoa as the Miami Dolphins are 2-0.
Tagovailoa took so much criticism in the offseason, but he looked dynamite against the Ravens. He totaled a career-high 469 passing yards and six touchdowns in a 42-38 victory. Tagovailoa defeated Lamar Jackson and dropped dimes to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Tagovailoa joins Dan Marino and Bob Griese for most touchdown passes in a game for the Dolphins.

What a comeback. Tua Tagovailoa does it. Leads Miami down the field for a 2-minute drill. Hits Jaylen Waddle for TD to take 42-38 lead with 14 seconds left. What a moment for Tua.
