The day? He saved much more than that. He saved the day, the game, the feel-good start, the big win in New England and especially Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa from hearing how he was outplayed by first-time starter Mac Jones.
All day long the question was which quarterback would, right? This would tell which franchise was ahead in some form. Tua and Jones went back and forth, too, making any and all interpretations valid for who had the better of whom. And who would be better than whom moving forward.
There’s no other way to put it.
