Hill has 2 TDs as the Dolphins beat the Commanders 45-15. They’re 9-3 for the 1st time since 2001
Associated Press— Tyreek Hill wasn’t surprised to see just one defender covering him. “Thanks for not respecting me, I guess.” Hill had two touchdowns among his five catches for 157 yards, and he and the Miami Dolphins routed the Washington Commanders 45-15 Sunday to pad their lead atop the AFC East and get to 9-3 for the first time since 2001. “Even if I didn’t have the numbers, I feel like I’m doing a good job being in the right spot for the quarterback, I’m doing a great job blocking and just understanding this whole offense.” Howell, who ran for two touchdowns while going 12 of 23 for 127 yards, is on pace for a more dubious record: the most sacks taken in a season. “We didn’t really give ourselves a chance.” Miami was so convincingly ahead that McDaniel pulled Tagovailoa, Hill and many of the offensive skill players early in the fourth quarter. “I loved it.” MAD BIENIEMY Commanders offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy could be seen yelling at Howell on the sideline after the QB’s pick-6 that looked like a screen pass right to Van Ginkel.
