Miami Dolphins’ Most Valuable Player | Week Eight | Tua has his best game as a pro

What a difference a few weeks make.

On September 29th, the Dolphins traveled to Cincinnati with a record of 3-0 for a Thursday night showdown with the Bengals.

Miami was riding high just a few days after an improbable victory over the Buffalo Bills. Those feelings of elation wouldn’t last long, however.

In the second quarter of the game against the Bengals, quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, was driven backwards onto the turf, slamming his head against the concrete surface which caused him to lose consciousness and suffer a serious head injury. He was carted off of the field after being down for several minutes.
