The NFL has named the Miami Dolphins one of the hottest teams in the league since the return of QB Tua Tagavailoa. Miami has made a comeback with a streak of games with the most impressive against the Los Angeles Rams. They only had three wins on the season and have gone up to 5-6 ahead of anticipated matchup on Thanksgiving against the Green Bay Packers. But first, Miami would welcome divisional rivals the New England Patriots to Hard Rock Stadium.
For the Dolphins it was QB Tua Tagavailoa going 29/40 on 317 yards adding four touchdowns on the afternoon.
