TYREEK HILL

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is ready to play his part in helping Tyreek Hill get some revenge on Eli Apple, who he called out earlier this week.

The downturn in offense from the first two weeks of the NFL season hasn’t touched all corners of the league with a handful of players and teams putting up staggering numbers.

Tua Tagovailoa completely took over the game against the Baltimore Ravens and led the Miami Dolphins to a thrilling Week 2 victory while putting up monster numbers.

Tua Tagovailoa threw for 469 yards and six touchdowns, four of which came during a spectacular fourth quarter as the Miami Dolphins rallied from a 21-point deficit to beat the Baltimore Ravens 42-38.

It’s sometimes hard to believe that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, for all that he’s accomplished during his young but brilliant NFL career, would carry such a considerable chip on his shoulder.

Three key takeaways from the state’s football scene this past weekend.

Tua Tagovailoa passed for 270 yards and a touchdown, and the Miami Dolphins provided an early look at their ability to contend in the AFC East as they beat Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots 20-7 Sunday.
