MIAMI -- Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa stepped to the podium on Nov. 17, a few days after the Miami Dolphins' win against the Baltimore Ravens -- his first time leading them to victory since the season opener.
It was about two weeks after the Nov. 2 trade deadline; gone were the questions about the Dolphins' faith in Tagovailoa and what he needed to prove. In their place came questions about the dance he showed off after rushing for the game-sealing touchdown.
He smiled at the questions, his typically clipped responses replaced by a demonstration of the "Smeeze" dance he said he learned from former Alabama teammate Najee Harris.
