Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa who led his team to a comeback victory on Christmas Eve, remained humble in his post-game interview, thanking his coaches, his teammates, and Jesus Christ. \u201cThe key was the guys just having competitive greatness,\u201d he told Fox. \u201cYou know, all over — the defense did a great job, the offense did a great job. \u2026 I just want to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Without Him, nothing would be possible.\u201d Tagovailoa was able to guide the Dolphins on a game-winning drive in the closing seconds of the game resulting in a field goal to give his team a 22-20 win over the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the season, the Dolphins suffered a tough loss to the Buffalo Bulls, but in his post-game interview, Tagovailoa opened up about how his faith helps him get over tough losses. He said, \u201cI think the best thing about being a believer of Jesus Christ, to me, is that the Good Lord up above doesn\u2019t care whether you win a game, whether you lose a game. For me, it\u2019s been a little tough having to play on Sundays, having to understand that I\u2019m not able to go to church.\u201d Tagovailoa continued, \u201cReally, a lot of it is having to watch church online after games and things like that. But allowing me this platform, to me, is the thing in the world to be able to profess my faith on something that I firmly believe in, something that\u2019s been foundationally instilled in me at a young age.\u201d The quarterback has even opened up about how the power of prater has helped him get through games. \u201cWhen I\u2019m out there, I even pray before I go out to a series and whatnot. I\u2019m always praying. I\u2019m on the sideline, and it looks like I\u2019m talking to myself, but I\u2019m speaking in tongues. Some people think, \u2018What? This guy knows how to speak in tongues?\u2019 I grew up in a non-denominational Christian church my entire life, so yeah, it does a lot. So having to remember scripture always keeps me encouraged in continuing to press forward, especially in times like this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
