There will be one certainty when the Miami Dolphins visit the Philadelphia Eagles in a matchup of two of the NFL’s best teams on Sunday night: Tua Tagovailoa can’t replace Jalen Hurts at halftime.
Tagovailoa and Hurts are among the top young quarterbacks in the NFL. The 25-year-old Hurts was the MVP runner-up a year ago, when he led the Eagles to the Super Bowl. The 25-year-old Tagovailoa has thrived under coach Mike McDaniel’s system and this year has built off a breakout 2022, when he set career highs in passing touchdowns, passing yards and passer rating.
But the QBs who go head-to-head for the first time in the NFL will forever be linked by their tenures under coach Nick Saban at Alabama.
More specifically, the 2017 season national championship game when Saban benched Hurts, who had led the Crimson Tide to two national title games, at the half and replaced him with Tagovailoa. Tagovailoa was a freshman who had played mostly in mop-up duty when he came off the bench and threw three touchdown passes to give the Crimson Tide their fifth national championship.
Oh, and the play that sparked the comeback? Tagovailoa’s 41-yard touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith, the 1,110-yard receiving wideout from a year ago, when he reunited with Hurts.
Tagovailoa, who leads the NFL in passing yards and touchdown passes, remained the starter the following Alabama season. Hurts, though, led the Crimson Tide to a win in the SEC Championship game when Tagovailoa was injured. Hurts later transferred to Oklahoma for his final season.
Saban said this week he never felt there were simmering issues between Tagovailoa and Hurts, even as they battled for one of the premier positions in college football.
Dolphins All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey practiced Wednesday for the first time since having surgery in July to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.
Ramsey, who suffered the injury during the second practice of training camp, will not play Sunday, but McDaniel said the team is optimistic that Ramsey will return soon.
The Dolphins’ five wins this season have come against teams with a combined record of 5-24. The only team they’ve faced with a winning record is Buffalo (4-2). Miami lost that game 48-20.
Back by weirdly popular demand, the Eagles will wear throwback Kelly green jerseys on Sunday. The Eagles wore the color as their primary uniform from 1985 to 1995, an era when the team won very little, but the aura of former coach Buddy Ryan, the late Reggie White, Randall Cunningham and others from that time still looms large on the Philly sports scene.
The Eagles tried for years to bring back the color scheme as an alternate jersey but it wasn’t until the NFL said ahead of the 2022 season that teams could wear two different helmets that the idea could become a reality.
The Eagles have gone all in on Kelly green products outside of the uniform line, launching everything from Kelly green debit cards to the labels for special whiskey and vodka.
The Dolphins are in first place in the AFC East, although their lone loss this season was a 42-21 thumping at the hands of the Bills. They’ve since won two straight and are third in the league in point differential. Miami has ruled out CB Jalen Ramsey due to a knee injury. They’ve listed CB Xavien Howard (groin), FB Alec Ingold (foot), CB Nik Needham (Achilles), and C Connor Williams (groin) as questionable.
The Eagles lost their first game of the season, losing 20-14 in a road upset at the hands of the Jets. They have a one-game lead over the Cowboys in the NFC East and are eighth in point differential. They have ruled out S Reed Blankenship (ribs) and CB Bradley Roby (shoulder) for the game.
Jalen Hurts and the Eagles did not enjoy Week 6 nearly as much Miami. The Birds fell to the Jets last week 20-14 for their first loss of the season. Hurts had one of the worst games of his career, throwing three interceptions, each one worse than the last. His third pick came on a 3rd-and-9 play that led to the Jets game-winning touchdown just inside the 2:00 warning of the fourth quarter.
Over the last four weeks, the Eagles have focused their offense on wide receiver A.J. Brown. The 26-year-old enters this game second in the NFL to Miami’s Tyreek Hill in receiving yards and riding a streak of four-straight games with at least 125 receiving yards.
