Toward the end of the third quarter on Sunday, in a 31–24 win over the Jets, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa saw nothing appetizing during his progressions and began his somewhat frantic, trademark scramble out of the pocket en route to the first-down marker.
In front of him was Jets cornerback Michael Carter II, who was squaring up the QB for a textbook open-field tackle. Sensing a series of feigned jukes were not going to lead to increased yardage, he lowered his shoulder and hammered Carter with his right forearm. When he regained his footing, he was in full flex, followed by his tight end and an offensive linemen, alternately acting as his personal hype men and coddling him in appreciation.
