I assume it’s time we rename this award the “Tua Tagovailoa Most Useful ‘Phin” award, since Miami’s quarterback has been en feugo over the previous three weeks resulting in his third straight (and fourth prior to now six weeks) MVP award this season — an award given to the Dolphins’ greatest performer each week by yours actually.
For those who nonetheless don’t assume Tagovailoa has been taking part in in rarefied air during the last three weeks, let this submit from Travis Wingfield of the Drive Time Podcast illustrate why you’re mistaken:
Together with his third consecutive 300-yard passing efficiency, Tua Tagovailoa joined Dan Marino as the one QBs in workforce historical past to file 3 consecutive video games with 300 yards.
Tua’s streak of three video games w/300 yards passing, 2 TDs and no INTs is the longest streak in franchise historical past.

Wow, loopy, loopy. Tagovailoa turned simply the second Dolphins quarterback to throw for 300+ yards passing in three consecutive video games, becoming a member of Corridor of Fame gunslinger Dan Marino in attaining that feat.
Miami Dolphins Week Fourteen MVP – Tua Tagovailoa
However wait, there’s extra…
Tagovailoa simply did one thing that Marino by no means did throughout his illustrious profession. In accordance with Wingfield, Tagovailoa’s streak of 300+ yards passing with no less than two passing touchdowns and 0 interceptions is the longest such streak in franchise historical past — which means he’s the one Dolphins quarterback to ever attain these marks in three straight contests.
Tagovailoa is main the Nationwide Soccer League in completion proportion in 2024 (73.8%). Oh, and he’s main the NFL in completion proportion for a complete profession (68.1%). Like… nobody has ever been extra correct than Miami’s 26-year-old sign caller… ever.
And to high all of it off, Tagovailoa led a game-winning landing drive in opposition to the New York Jets in week 14 — throwing a 10-yard dart to tight finish Jonnu Smith to ship Aaron Rodgers and firm packing on Sunday.
Simply face it — he’s good. Like, actually good.
