His pa ser rating of 106.9 was the second consecutive game Tagovailoa finished with a 100-plus pa ser rating.The secret behind Tagovailoa's succe s is the preparation the Dolphins have during P.J. Locke III Jersey the week, giving him all the opportunity to execute when he gets on the field. Tagovailoa even and his development after just three games."I expected it to be a lot harder," Tagovailoa said.

His performance Sunday didn't match up to his Week 9 numbers against the (248 yards, two touchdowns; 7 carries, 35 yards), but he was efficient in the victory.
