On Sunday night, the sports world will be graced with the battle between two of the top young quarterbacks in the NFL with Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert. The Miami Dolphins selected Tua fifth overall back in the 2020 NFL Draft, while the Los Angeles Chargers selected Herbert sixth overall. For the first two seasons, it looks like the Dolphins had made the wrong choice at quarterback. Herbert was shattering rookie records and made impossible throws look easy. Tua struggled with injuries and a coaching staff that didn’t believe in him and now has an offensive system and the support around him to succeed.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
