The Miami Dolphins are currently going toe to toe with the Bills. While the Bisons were favorites to make it out of the AFC. It now seems that they might not even finish at the top of the division. The Dolphins had a winning season for two consecutive seasons, however, they never looked dangerous. While the team added the likes of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle to the offense, there have also been coaching changes. And QB, Tua Tagovailoa, who is in the running for the MVP award, believes that made all the difference in the world.

Tagovailoa has turned his fortunes around this season. With an 8-3 record, the Dolphins seem to have a good chance of making it to the SB. And while the fans must be happy, the 24-year-old caught the attention of the NFL with his sneaky diss aimed at former HC Brian Flores. When NFL reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala asked the QB, what was the difference this season? He replied, “Well, having someone that believes in you makes all the difference.” Although that is innocent by itself, he continued by saying, “I’ve never experienced that. This is my first time having that kind of relationship with someone with that type of authority, being the head coach of an organization.” It certainly seems like a dig at Flores.
