Amidst a blistering 3-0 start, the Miami Dolphins have become the talk of the NFL. Their latest stunt? An unprecedented 70-20 shellacking (!) of the Denver Broncos in which they scored 10 offensive touchdowns. That is not a typo. Tua Tagovailoa and Co. reached paydirt on 10 separate occasions against a purported “professional” Denver defense.
Tagovailoa himself was predictably sharp. The fourth-year starter completed 23-of-26 passes for 309 yards and four scores. And frankly, perhaps the current leading MVP candidate achieved it with little resistance.
As such, after the game, Tagovailoa earned quite a ringing endorsement from another important Dolphin — Tyreek Hill. In a response to compliments of his own game from Robert Griffin III, Hill deferred to Tagovailoa, calling the Miami signal-caller “special”:
Tyreek Hill is the MOST UNGUARDABLE WR in the NFL. It’s not just about his speed, it’s that he has INSTANT SPEED from his first step. His ability to stop and start in and out of his breaks combined with his run after the catch gives you a One of One talent. @cheetah pic.twitter.com/YFOTsXwm1U

If Hill, a no-doubt future Hall of Fame receiver, is all the way in on Tagovailoa, then we should all be. The Dolphins resemble an early AFC favorite for the Super Bowl — in no small part thanks to this dynamic duo. It looks like both are very much on the same page.
