Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa made an unexpected splash after Miami’s 16–13 win over the Washington Commanders in Madrid, Spain, when he was asked which international location he would want to play in next. 

After mentioning his home state of Hawaii, Tagovailoa surprised reporters by saying it would be “pretty cool” to play a game in Jerusalem, adding that it “would be sick.”

Tagovailoa has long expressed admiration for Israel. He and his family are deeply religious, with their Christian beliefs rooted in Samoan tradition, something that has shaped many of his public comments.
