Following the Miami Dolphins 23-15 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night, fans had high praise for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in his third game back after entering concussion protocol during Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills.

In a solid showing for both teams, Tagovailoa stood out on Monday night alongside wide receiver Tyreek Hill who recorded his first touchdown since Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

With their win, Miami improved to 3-6 on the season, snapping a three-game losing streak, while the Rams fell to 4-5.

Tagovailoa completed 20-of-28 passes for 207 yards, with one touchdown, one interception and one fumble. Hill contributed with 27 total yards and one touchdown.

On the other side, Stafford and the Rams were held to zero touchdowns as he completed 32-of-46 passes for 293 yards, with one interception and two fumbles.

Since his return against the Arizona Cardinals, Tagovailoa has completed 73-of-94 passes for 672 total yards and four passing touchdowns, impressing fans with his performance, despite the team's losses prior to Monday night. The 26-year-old Alabama alum is drawing attention for his strong comeback.

Next Sunday, the Dolphins will look to grab a back-to-back win as they face the 2-7 Las Vegas Raiders at home.
