Ahead of their crucial game against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Dolphins quarterback debuted a new look and even did a Drake impression after a reporter told Tua that his new hairdo resembles the rapper.

On the sporting side of things, Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami-based football team are having a great campaign so far. They are currently holding a solid 6-3 record and are leading the AFC East division.

If they continued their good form, they could end up securing their AFC East division title in more than a decade. The last time they won the division title was way back in 2008. Nonetheless, as they continue their hunt for a playoff spot, the Dolphins are scheduled to face the Las Vegas Raiders in their week 11 matchup this Sunday.
