They had to fight until the overtime, but Miami was able to win on the back of a great performance by their superstar wide receiver. He finally had an exhibition next to his level, and the entire passing offense benefited, with Tua Tagovailoa throwing for 331 yards and two touchdowns.
During the week, Tyreek spoke about his low numbers and how this is a result of a defensive adjustment. A common tendency in the 2024 season has been NFL defenses playing more Cover-2 to stop deep balls, and against the Miami Dolphins, they are doing this at a higher rate to prevent Hill and Jaylen Waddle from exploding with vertical plays.
He had an important touchdown catch in the second half to tie the game and contributed with two more receptions during the overtime to help Miami in their final drive. With one or two more great performances, he'll surpass the 1,000-yard mark with ease.
