He had a GREAT 2nd half against Cincinnati. Anyone know off the top of their head if another rookie outperformed Tagovailoa, regardless of position?
Here are the other candidates for this week: Jonathan Taylor, RB (IND); James Robinson, RB (JAX); Cam Akers, RB (LAR); Justin Jefferson, WR (MIN); https://www.nfl.com/voting/rookies/ Herbert won this award 7 times already and is currently the odds on favorite for rookie of the year (Vegas has him at -450, which is an implied probability of 81.82%).
It actually came all in the 3rd quarter. Tua went 1-4 in the 4th and his incomplete passes in the 4th meant we settled for a FG in a drive that began in the 3rd. The impressive play by Tua was really all in one quarter.
No knock on Tua, I’m glad he bounced back after a horrible first half but he’s got to be able to play that level for all 4 quarters.
He threw an abs dime to Grant in the first half which if cought, would have change the whole narrative
It was a great pass but it was also a difficult catch to make. Especially because it was wobbling and not a spiral at all, which makes the accuracy more impressive honestly.
