Rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is turning the Miami Dolphins into one of the NFL’s biggest surprises in 2020.

On Sunday, he completed 15 of 25 pass attempts and threw two touchdown passes as the Fins defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 29-21.

Afterward, the University of Alabama product reacted to the victory on social media.

The game was a matchup of two hot rookie quarterbacks: Tagovailoa and the Chargers’ Justin Herbert, who was selected right after Tagovailoa with the sixth overall pick in this year’s NFL draft.

With the impressive first year man starting his third consecutive contest, Miami jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter.

The Dolphins, who won only five games last year, are now 6-3 and trail only the Buffalo Bills, who are 7-3, in the AFC East.

Miami has a relatively easy schedule from here on out which concludes in Week 17 against the Bills, giving it a great opportunity to finish first in its division.
