MIAMI (AP) — One thing in Tua Tagovailoa’s favor the rest of this season is that he won’t have to face his own defense.
While the attention lately has been on the rookie quarterback for the Miami Dolphins, they’ve forged a three-game winning streak by dominating defensively. It’s a unit that has undergone a remarkable transformation in the past 12 months under coach Brian Flores, from last in the NFL in points allowed to first.
The latest gem came Sunday in a 28-17 win over the Los Angeles Rams. Strip sacks accounted for half of Miami’s scoring, including Andrew Van Ginkel’s 78-yard fumble return for a touchdown, and an interception led to another TD.
