Tua Tagovailoa, the quarterback for the Dolphins, has access to some of the league's top trainers.
Tagovailoa is 7-1 versus head coaches who have won the Super Bowl after going 4-0 against Bill Belichick's Patriots on Sunday. That includes losing Andy Reid's Chiefs and victories against Sean Payton's Saints, Jon Gruden's Raiders, and Jon Gruden's Raiders.
NFL Research claims that among quarterbacks who have started at least six games against Super Bowl-winning head coaches, Tagovailoa's.875 victory percentage is the best in NFL history.
The next game for Tagovailoa and the Dolphins is on Sunday against the Ravens, coached by Super Bowl champion John Harbaugh.
Of all, a quarterback's win-loss record is not only based on his performance but also heavily on the performance of his teammates. Additionally, just because a head coach had previously triumphed in the Super Bowl does not imply that his squad was of Super Bowl caliber when Tagovailoa defeated him. Therefore, although the statistic doesn't necessarily support Tagovailoa's abilities as a quarterback, it is an interesting observation about a rookie quarterback's career that he has excelled particularly well against head coaches who have achieved great success.
