Tua Tagovailoa's monster game propels Dolphins to stunning comeback victory over Ravens
Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle had two touchdowns each
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Miami Dolphins are off to a different start to the regular season, and their comeback victory against the Baltimore Ravens showed they might be for real this year.
Miami was down by 21 points against Baltimore twice in the game — at halftime and in the third quarter — and still managed to completely shock the Ravens, 42-38.
Down 35-14 in the fourth quarter, Tua Tagovailoa started the final frame with a 2-yard touchdown pass to River Cracraft. He followed that up with two touchdown passes to Tyreek Hill — a 48-yard completion with 7:47 to go and a 60-yard bomb with 5:19 remaining in the game.

The Hill touchdown drives took a combined eight plays and used 2:51 to score. It was big plays that helped change the game.
