MIAMI (AP) The Miami Dolphins had an opportunity to take Justin Herbert in the 2020 draft, and early this season it was tempting to wonder why they didn't.
Tua Tagovailoa is starting to provide the answer.
The rookie from Alabama had a breakout performance last week in a thrilling win at Arizona that added momentum to the surprising Dolphins' recent surge. They're 5-3 and take a four-game winning streak into Sunday's home game against Herbert and the luckless Los Angeles Chargers.
Miami made Tagovailoa the fifth choice in the draft, and with the next pick the Chargers selected Herbert.
