After the Miami Dolphins 2022 season ended with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa sitting out the final three games due to the former first-round pick suffering another concussion, not many predicted the type of year he’d have in 2023.
Tagovailoa bounced back by playing in all 17 regular-season contests as well as the team’s lone postseason battle. He set career highs for completion percentage (69.3%), touchdowns (29) and passing yards (4,624 – which led the NFL).
The Dolphins finished the regular season with an 11-6 record and were knocked out of the playoff by the eventual Super Bowl champions – the Kansas City Chiefs.
With the aqua and orange now fully in offseason mode, the Dolphins content team took the time to compile Tagovailoa’s 10 best plays of the year and rank them.
All of these plays were extremely impressive, but the two first two highlights from the Los Angeles Chargers game might be underrated. The first was an incredible throw on the run, while the other required arm strength and pinpoint accuracy to complete.
Miami will consider a long-term deal with Tagovailoa this offseason, and if 2023 was an indication of what he’ll start building upon going forward in the Mike McDaniel offense, the sky may be the limit for the unit.
