Dolphins Win Shootout

Two young quarterbacks battled it out Sunday in a shootout; Dolphins come out on top 34 to 31. In his second start Tua looked good completing 20 of 28 passes for 248 yards and two touch-downs, while rushing for 35 yards. Little by little, Tua will be getting better with each snap and getting comfortable making the right throws. It seems as if he is  improving each week. He offers his thoughts on Sunday’s performance, “I would say it was a lot better than the Rams game. We’re going to enjoy it and come in Monday and watch film with one another,” he says. “We’ll see what we can learn from and continue to work.” Even though Cardinal’s defense was able to get 3 sacks, Tua was still able to make key throws. This road game was a test for him, and he did well enough to pass. […]
