Tyreek Hill’s first touchdown since Week 1 gives Miami a 17-6 lead

The Dolphins have gotten back into the end zone for the first time since their opening drive.

Tua Tagovailoa threw a 1-yard touchdown to Tyreek Hill, making the score 17-6 Miami.

After getting the ball at their 47-yard line on a missed field goal, the Dolphins needed just six plays to get to the paint. Tight end Jonnu Smith made the big play, getting a short pass over the middle before bouncing off defenders and staying on his feet all the way to the 1-yard line.

On the next play, Tagovailoa found Hill for the score. It was Hill’s first touchdown since Week 1.

The Rams should have put three points on the board to open the second half, but a false start before a 52-yard field goal pushed the attempt back five yards. Joshua Karty went just wide from that distance and kept the score at 10-6. Los Angeles had gone up the field with the run game, but a high shotgun snap derailed possession, putting the offense behind the chains.

Dolphins cornerback Kendall Fuller went down early in the third quarter and is out after being placed in the concussion protocol. Cam Smith came in to replace him

Additionally, it is doubtful that Dolphins guard Robert Jones will return from a knee injury. Lester Cotton replaced him.
