Mac Jones vs. Tua Tagovailoa. That’s the big story in Sunday’s Week 1 showdown between the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins.
The 2 former Alabama teammates are both the starting quarterbacks for their teams (Jones for the Patriots, Tagovailoa for the Dolphins) and are both eager to prove themselves.
But, that leads to some mixed emotions for Alabama fans, who aren’t used to seeing their favorites battle head-to-head.
As you can see below, there were some great tweets about the game:
