Last week, Tua Tagovailoa earned his very first NFL rookie of the week honor after throwing for a career-best in completions, (26) attempts, (39), and yards (296) in a gritty 19-7 win over the Bengals.
This week, Tagovailoa once again had a career day, completing 28/48 passes for 316 yards and 3 total touchdowns. But after falling short of an impressive fourth-quarter comeback of the Kansas City Chiefs, there was no way Tua would win the honors over a much more deserving Chase Young and others, right?
NEVER. UNDERESTIMATE. THIS. FANBASE.
First, let me start by saying that these NFL honors are no different than the Pro Bowl.
