There’s just one week left in the 2023 NFL regular season, and, at this point in the year, many quarterbacks are starting that were keeping the bench warm at the beginning of the season.
The Miami Dolphins have been very lucky to have Tua Tagovailoa start all 16 of their contests so far this season, and the only time he’s exited has likely been because of the score and not injury (he did have an injury on Sunday, but the score was also lopsided).
