Tagovailoa Named AFC Offensive Player of the Month
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The NFL announced that Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been named AFC Offensive Player of the Month for his performance in September.
Tagovailoa becomes the first Dolphins player to win AFC Offensive Player of the Month in 30 years, when quarterback Scott Mitchell last earned the honor in October 1993. He’s just the third different Dolphin to win the award, joining Mitchell and quarterback Dan Marino, who won it in November 1986 and October 1988.
Tagovailoa finished September completing 72-of-104 passes (71.3 pct.) for 1,024 yards, eight touchdowns, two interceptions and a 121.9 passer rating. He leads the league in passer rating (121.9) and yards per attempt (10.1). In fact, his 10.1 yards per attempt is a full two yards better than any other player in the league through Week 3.
Tagovailoa currently ranks second in the NFL and first in the AFC in passing yards (1,024) and passing touchdowns (eight). He has been sacked just one time in three games, tied for the best mark in the league. His 1,024 passing yards are the most in franchise history through the first three games of a season and his 10.1 yards per attempt are the fifth-most in the NFL in the past decade through a team’s first three games.
As Miami’s signal-caller, Tagovailoa has led the team to a 3-0 start for the second consecutive season, something the Dolphins haven’t done since 1994-96. The Dolphins offense has more points scored (130) and total yards (1,651) than any NFL team has accrued through the first three games of a season since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. He also helped the Dolphins set franchise records for points (70) and total yards (726) in the team’s Week 3 win vs. Denver as Miami’s 70 points were the most scored by any NFL team since 1966.
The Dolphins have now had a Player of the Month Award in each of the past five seasons. Linebacker Melvin Ingram was AFC Defensive Player of the Month in September 2022. Linebacker Jerome Baker earned AFC Defensive Player of the Month in December 2021. Kicker Jason Sanders won three AFC Special Teams Player of the Month awards in October and November 2020 and in December 2019.

Achane Named AFC Offensive Player of the Week
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The NFL announced that Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane has been named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in Sunday’s win vs. Denver.
It’s Achane’s first AFC Offensive Player of the Week honor and he becomes the first Dolphins running back to win the award since Jay Ajayi did so three times during the 2016 season.
Achane had a record-setting performance in Miami’s historic victory over Denver. The running back broke Miami’s single-game rushing record by a rookie with 203 yards on 18 carries (11.3 avg.). The 203 rushing yards were tied for the seventh-most in a game in franchise history. It was the most yards by an NFL player in his first or second career game since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. Achane totaled four touchdowns – two rushing and two receiving – tying another team record. He and running back Raheem Mostert became the second pair of teammates in NFL history to each have four touchdowns in a game, joining Kansas City running backs Priest Holmes and Derrick Blaylock, who did so on Oct. 24, 2004 vs. Atlanta.
Achane was part of an offense that set team records for points (70), total yards (726) and rushing yards (350) in the win. Miami’s 70 points were the most by an NFL team since 1966 and the 726 total yards were the second-most in league history.
Achane is the first Dolphins rookie since Olivier Vernon in 2012 to win an AFC Player of the Week award. Vernon earned AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors in Week 8 of the 2012 season at the N.Y. Jets. The last Dolphins rookie to win an AFC Offensive Player of the Week award was Karim Abdul-Jabbar, who was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week after his first career game in Week 1 of the 1996 season vs. New England.
This is the second AFC Offensive Player of the Week award for the Dolphins this season after quarterback Tua Tagovailoa earned the honor in Week 1 at the L.A. Chargers. The last time the Dolphins won two AFC Offensive Player of the Week Awards in a three-week span was in 2016, when quarterback Matt Moore earned the honor in Week 15 at the N.Y. Jets and Ajayi won the award in Week 16 at Buffalo.
