First thing’s first. This game ruled. It started with a 100+ yard kickoff return. It ended with 28 fourth quarter points for the Miami Dolphins and what I’m sure was a whole bunch of all-caps tweets from the friendly psychopaths in Tuanon.
At first, the title of this article was going to be: Lamar Jackson might just get that fully guaranteed contract (but he’ll probably still have to work through two years of franchise tag hell). Then it was: the Dolphins invested heavily in Tua Tagovailoa and it’s paying off in a massive way. Then I realized the aerial fireworks and last-second heroics of Sunday afternoon were what we’d all hoped for on Thursday night, only for Los Angeles and Kansas City to reward us with a merely fulfilling prime time game.
