The Dolphins appeared headed for a wild experience in opposition to the Washington Commanders if Miami’s roller coaster celebration to mark Tyreek Hill’s 78-lawn touchdown capture Sunday was any indication.
Hill speedily moved earlier rookie defensive back Quan Martin, hauled in a throw from Tua Tagovailoa and sped the rest of the way to rating on Miami’s 3rd play on offense as the guests took a 7- direct in the initial quarter on a wet, foggy afternoon.

Hill plopped himself down in the finish zone, and a handful of teammates sat down in a row powering him. Offensive lineman Robert Hunt “locked” them into their seatbelts, and they then waived their arms overhead to the left and proper, pantomiming a excursion on a experience at an amusement park.
In the 2nd quarter, Hill hauled in a 60-yard TD — beating cornerback Kendall Fuller, this time — to set Miami ahead 24-7. This one was not followed by a choreographed celebration in the conclusion zone with teammates.
Hill’s studies to that place: three receptions for 132 yards and two scores (he caught a go that resulted in a 6-garden loss in the first quarter).
This was Washington’s initially sport because head mentor Ron Rivera fired defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio and defensive backs mentor Brent Vieselmeyer.
The Commanders entered the working day with a 4-8 record, the Dolphins 8-3.
