Former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa did not get the nod to start last night against the Baltimore Ravens in the Miami Dolphins Thursday Night Football primetime matchup. This was the second consecutive week he was active, but listed as the backup behind Jacoby Brissett, due to a fractured finger on Tagovailoa’s throwing hand.
However, because of an injury to Brissett in the third quarter, Tagovailoa was put into action, and never taken out.
Instead, Tagovailoa, with some (a lot) of assistance from the defense, helped lead the team to a 22-10 win over the heavily-favorited Ravens.
Fans and analysts took to Twitter throughout the entire game to express their feelings on Tagovailoa. Whether it be him starting the game as the backup, or making some big plays to secure the win, the fans reacted.
Tua is good

Give me this version of Tua over Jacoby Brissett every time. Limitations and all.

The fans love Tua. They're chanting his name and waving T-Shirts. Two kids in Tua throwback jerseys are jumping up and down, going crazy in a nearby section. They want him to succeed so badly.

Honestly, this was the perfect game to shut the media up, if only for a little bit.
