The first game of Week 4 of the 2022 NFL season features Miami Dolphins taking on the Cincinnati Bengals at the Paul Brown Stadium. Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa faces his college rival Joe Burrow who plays for the Bengals.

This is the player’s first-ever meeting in the NFL since being drafted in 2020. Although in that season, Miami played against the Bengals in Week 13 but only Tua could take part in the game as Burrow suffered a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee two games earlier against the Washington Commanders.
