DENVER (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Dolphins are playoff contenders once again after turning to rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa who will reach a major NFL milestone this weekend.
On Sunday in Denver, the former Alabama star can join Ben Roethlisberger as the only rookie quarterbacks in the last 40 years to win their first four starts.
Miami’s rookie QB is averaging just 172 yards passing in his three starts and has thrown five touchdown passes. Over a full season, that would equate to approximately 2,750 yards and 26 TDs, or about what Patrick Mahomes has already piled up this season.
