Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill needed just eight games this season to break 1,000 receiving yards, as another stellar performance helped his team to victory on Sunday. The Dolphins took down their AFC East-rival New England Patriots. 31-17, thanks in part to hill’s 112-yard performance on eight catches that included his eighth receiving touchdown of the season. Hill came into this game with a league-leading 902 receiving yards, so he now sits at 1,014 yards.
His pick led to a Jason Sanders field goal, giving the Dolphins a 17-7 lead at the half. But there was much more offense from Miami in the second half, and a lot of it came from the leading receiver in this game. No, it wasn’t Hill. Instead, his counterpart Jaylen Waddle was the team’s leading receiver with 121 yards on seven catches, which included his 31-yards touchdown where he was uncovered in the middle of the field to make it 31-17 late in the fourth quarter.
