Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa wins AFC Award

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been on a roll since returning from injured reserve, and his performance in the Miami Dolphins’ 34-15 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday may have been his best so far this season.

Unsurprisingly, his performance was good enough to earn him the AFC Offensive Player of the Week award, the league announced Wednesday.

Against New England, Tagovailoa completed 29 of 40 passes for 317 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions, for a passer rating of 128.9.

It is the third time Tagovailoa has won the award, also winning Week 2 of the 2022 season (42-38 win at Baltimore) and Week 1 of 2023 (36-34 win at LA Chargers). Tua became the third NFL player to win a weekly award in each of the last three seasons, joining Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen and Tennessee Titans K Nick Folk.

Tua is the first Dolphins recipient of the AFC Offensive Player of the Week award since Raheem Mostert in Week 6 of 2023.

As a reminder, Tua is also nominated for the FedEx Air Player of the Week award alongside Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes and Minnesota’s Sam Darnold.

Fans can vote for this award on “X” (formerly Twitter), with the winner announced later in the week.

Tagovailoa was also announced as a Dolphins candidate on Monday 2024 Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award.

Eight finalists will be selected and included in the Pro Bowl voting when players cast their votes in December.

The award, which began in 2014, went to Dolphins defensive lineman Calais Campbell in 2022, when he was still a member of the Baltimore Ravens.

Tagovailoa is one of five quarterbacks among the nominees, along with Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Dak Prescott and Jordan Love.

Former Dolphins linebacker Kyle Van Noy is the Ravens’ prospect this year.

Fan voting for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games began on Monday.

Fans can vote at ProBowl.com/Vote, on team websites (such as MiamiDolphins.com/pro-bowl-games/vote) or on social media.

During the final two weeks of voting (running from December 9th to December 23rd), fans can vote directly on “X” by tweeting the player’s first and last name, tagging the player’s official X/Twitter handle, or using a hashtag the created first and last name of the player. All three methods must include the hashtag #ProBowlVote. The social votes will double in the last two days (December 22nd and 23rd).

The selection is made by vote of fans, players and coaches, each taking into account a third of the process. Players and coaches will vote on Friday, December 27th. The Pro Bowl Games will take place on February 2nd in Orlando next year.

Last season, the Miami Dolphins had six Pro Bowl selections:
