NFL QB Experiences Romans 1:16 Revelation Post-Bills Defeat
Few NFL teams have been more lauded, and deserved it more, than the Miami Dolphins this season.
Prior to Sunday’s game, the Dolphins were flying high with a seemingly unstoppable offense built around speed, speed and more speed.
On Sept. 24, they beat the Denver Broncos 70-20, scoring the most points by an NFL team since 1966.
Then they ran into their AFC East rivals the Buffalo Bills, who promptly stomped them into the ground to the tune of a 48-20. (For comparison, the Dolphins had outscored their previous three opponents by a total of 59 points.)
Absolutely nobody would blame Miami players for being a little downtrodden, a little beat down and a little sullen after such a humbling performance.
But instead of tapping into all those negative emotions after the game, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa turned to his Christian faith.
Tagovailoa, still sporting his jersey and sporting some scuffs from the game (the Bills defensive line tormented Tagovailoa, sacking him four times and hitting him nine), spoke to the media after the game and chose to open up about his faith.
“The best thing about being a believer of Jesus Christ, like, to me is, that the good Lord up above doesn’t care whether you win a game, whether you lose a game,” he said. “And for me, it’s been a little tough having to play on Sundays. Having to understand that, you know, not able to go to church.
“Really, a lot of it is having to watch church online after games and things like that. But allowing me this platform, you know, is, to me, it’s the best thing in the world.
“To be able to profess my faith. Something that I firmly believe in. Something that’s been foundationally instilled in me at a young age.
“You know, when I’m out there, I even pray before I go out to [take a] series and whatnot. I’m always praying.”

Tagovailoa also highlighted how much remembering Scripture keeps him encouraged, “especially in times like this.”
For those who share his biblical views, the quarterback’s postgame remarks strongly echo Romans 1:16, which reads, in part, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.”
Tagovailoa, whose early career was compared to that of former college football legend Tim Tebow due to their playstyles (left-handed scramblers) and their faith, will have a chance to get back on the winning track when the Dolphins play the woeful New York Giants on Sunday.
The Bills, no strangers to public professions of faith themselves, will look to continue their dominance of Florida when they play the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in London.

If there’s one thing that sets the Miami Dolphins apart this season, it’s their electrifying speed. This team has been the talk of the NFL, and rightfully so. The Dolphins have been unstoppable, piling up points and leaving their opponents in the dust. But even the best teams can face setbacks, and that’s exactly what happened when they faced their AFC East rivals, the Buffalo Bills.
In a surprising turn of events, the Bills trounced the Dolphins with a resounding 48-20 victory, a stark contrast to the Dolphins’ dominant performance in previous games. One would expect the Dolphins players to feel downtrodden and disheartened after such a humbling defeat. However, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa turned to his Christian faith to find solace and strength.
In a post-game interview, Tagovailoa emphasised the importance of his relationship with Jesus Christ. He spoke about how his faith enables him to navigate the highs and lows of football, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to publicly profess his beliefs. For Tagovailoa, being a believer means that winning or losing a game does not define him. It’s about something greater, something that transcends the football field.
Tagovailoa’s openness about his faith echoes the sentiment expressed in Romans 1:16: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” By sharing his biblical views, Tagovailoa has demonstrated that his faith is a source of strength and encouragement, especially during challenging times.
It is remarkable to witness a young athlete like Tagovailoa staying grounded and finding solace in his faith amidst the pressures of professional football. His unwavering devotion to God and reliance on Scripture prove to be a guiding force in navigating both victories and defeats.
Comparisons have been drawn between Tagovailoa and former college football legend Tim Tebow due to their playing styles, left-handed scrambling, and their shared faith. Like Tebow, Tagovailoa’s faith is an integral part of his identity, and he embraces it wholly.
As the Dolphins prepare to face the New York Giants, it will be interesting to see how Tagovailoa and his team bounce back from their recent defeat. With their faith as a driving force, the Miami Dolphins have the potential to rise above adversity and reclaim their position as one of the most lauded teams in the NFL this season.
Ultimately, what sets the Miami Dolphins apart is not just their on-field prowess but also their unwavering faith. In a league filled with athletic achievements and intense rivalries, Tagovailoa’s testament to his faith serves as a reminder that there are qualities far more important than fame and success. The Dolphins’ story is one of resilience, inspiration, and the unwavering belief that there is something greater than the game.
