Patriots cannot sleep on Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa’s underrated improvisation skills in Week 12

The Shanahan system of offense, which has taken the league by storm over the last few years, is notable for trying to make life easy on the quarterback. While they still need to operate and process at a high level, this has allowed players such as Brock Purdy, Jared Goff or Kirk Cousins — all of whom lacking elite athletic traits — to become productive QBs for their respective teams.

Also among that group is the Miami Dolphins’ Tua Tagovailoa, who the New England Patriots will go up against on Sunday. Ever since joining forces with head coach Mike McDaniel in 2022, the former first-round draft pick has been among the most productive passers in the NFL.
