Tua Tagovailoa completed 28 passes for 466 yards in an AFC bout against the Los Angeles Chargers on opening day. Bradon Staley, coach of the Chargers, had the secret sauce to slow Miami's quarterback down last season but 2023 was completely different. Tagovailoa diced the defense with the help of 11 receptions for 215 yards and two touchdowns from All-Pro receiver Tyreek Hill.

While Hill had a monster day, Jaylen Waddle averaged 20 yards a reception as five different receivers had five targets in the win.

Should we be surprised that the Dolphins stuck to their pass-happy ways after preaching balance throughout the offseason?
