The Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagavailoa led a rally from a 28-7 halftime deficit to tie the game at 35-35 late in the fourth quarter en route to a stunning 42-38 Dolphins win.
Tagovailoa entered the season and the day with myriad questions about his downfield abilities and whether he could lead an explosive offense alongside receivers Tyreek Hill and Waddle. The answer on Sunday was a resounding yes. He finished the day completing 36 of 50 pass attempts for 469 yards with six touchdowns and two interceptions. His second touchdown of the day to Hill was a 60-yard bomb that tied the game at 35-35.
Tua’s 6 Touchdowns against the Ravens today tie Dan Marino and Bob Griese for most Touchdown passes in a game in Dolphins history.
Tua also becomes the second youngest player since 1950 to throw for at least 450 pass yards and 6 TDs, behind only Patrick Mahomes. pic.twitter.com/xeQxfCDMs9

Down 21 points at half on road vs. Ravens, Tua Tagovailoa led Dolphins to an exhilarating 42-38 comeback win with help of Tyreek Hill & Jaylen Waddle.
This was the defining moment of Tua’s career thus far. And what a way to answer by Miami’s young QB.
