Description
Tua Tagovailoa and the offense lit up the New England Patriots for 317 yards and four touchdowns with no turnovers, the defense had five sacks and forced two turnovers, and the Miami Dolphins cruised past the New England Patriots 34-15 for their 3rd straight win. Each week, the Dolphins continue to play more like the Super Bowl contenders we thought they would be heading into this season, and (healthy) Tua is a huge reason why. Tagovailoa, now 7-0 in his career vs the Pats, has thrown seven TD passes with no interceptions in his last two games. Since his return vs Arizona on October 27, the fifth-year star has thrown 11 TD passes with just one pick. He is completing nearly 75% of his passes, playing like the MVP candidate our host Jim "Gries" said he would be coming into this season. The Dolphins (5-6) moved into 8th-place in the AFC standings, meaning they are very much still alive in the playoff picture. The Dolphins have swept the Pats in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1999-2000. Two of Tua's TD throws went to De'Von Achane, who has scored 19 times this season to lead the team. Jaylen Waddle played his best game of the season- 8 catches for a buck forty-four and a 23-yard touchdown that pushed the Miami lead to 31-0 at the start of the fourth quarter. Jonnu Smith had 87 yards on nine catches, including a touchdown on the Dolphins' 2nd drive that opened the scoring. Tyreek Hill caught five balls for Miami, as Tua spread it around all day long. The Miami defense was just as great, flying all over the field wreaking havoc for Drake Maye and the Pats offense all day long.  Zach Siler had a sack/strip forced fumble and a fumble recovery, and Rookie Chop Robinson played his best game so far with 1.5 sacks, a forced fumble and all kinds of pressures. Linebacker Tyrel Dodson added an interception for Miami.
