Any Given Sunday

Since taking over the quarterback job from Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tua Tagovailoa has delivered some impressive throws that were impeccably placed. He has also shown some signs of the things that had people doubting him coming out of Alabama. As you might have guessed from the box score, this was a game that was mostly full of the latter. Here's the DVOA viewpoint on the Dolphins with and without Tagovailoa:

The two quarterbacks are remarkably similar to each other in how well they've played in just about every area this season from a statistical standpoint. I will note that Fitzpatrick has thrown more than twice as many passes as Tagovailoa, but Fitzpatrick has also faced a much easier schedule of defenses.
