For Dolphins, the Tua-and-Tyreek show is starting to roll October 31 MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) Its been nearly four decades since the Miami Dolphins finished a season with the highest-rated pa ser in the NFL. And theyve never had a receiver lead the league in yards.Hello, Tua Tagovailoa.Hello, Tyreek Hill. on May 10, showing Tagovailoa in a bucket hat and shorts, not a helmet and pads dropping back and sending a pa s to Hill. The Isaac Bruce Jersey pa s was underthrown, Hill was basically standing still when he caught it and tweeters who thought it was an ominous sign for the season reacted predictably.Delete this, some wrote.The tweet is still standing. And Tagovailoa and Hill are standing taller than all others.The oft-criticized Tagovailoa is the current leader in NFL pa ser rating; 112.7, which is 3.2 points higher than second-place Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs. Hill is the runaway leader in NFL receiving yards; 961, which is 197 more than Buffalo's Stefon Diggs and puts him on pace to become the first player in league history to ama s 2,000 yards receiving (though, yes, the 17-game season also helps in that regard). And the Dolphins are now winners of two straight, rallying to top Detroit 31-27 on Sunday to improve to 5-3 and remain squarely in the AFC playoff mix.I feel like we can be light years better," Hill said.That's a scary stance. But probably accurate.I'm seeing a lot of improvement acro s the board," Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said.The Dolphins are 5-1 when Tagovailoa plays, 5-0 when he's healthy enough to finish games. They lost at Cincinnati when he had the frightening concu sion and needed to be taken off the field on a stretcher, then lost their next two games to the New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings with him sidelined.It's not as simple as Play Tua, Win Games. The defense gave up 64 points in the two games he mi sed, an obvious factor in those decisions. But Tagovailoa's two best games of the year and of his career came when the Dolphins were in trouble.In Week 2, he had four touchdown pa ses in the final 12:12, six of them in the game, as the Dolphins rallied from a 21-point fourth A'Shawn Robinson Jersey -quarter deficit to stun Baltimore 42-38. And on Sunday, Tagovailoa had the first three-touchdown, zero-interception game of his career to help Miami erase an early 21-7 deficit.And, in similar sentiments to the ones Hill shared, Tagovailoa says he expects more.The greatest thing about this game is that you can never get content," said Tagovailoa, who is averaging a league-best 9.0 yards per pa s attempt. You have to continue to keep growing. Well go and watch the film and look at things that we couldve done better."One other thing that jumped out to McDaniel on Sunday: Alec Ingold's post-touchdown spike, after the Miami fullback got his first career rushing TD.I was proud that he took advantage of the opportunity to have a non-regrettable spike," McDaniel said. A lot of times in the proce s, people that are pretty emotional, the ball will slip or it'll be like sideways or it's not very powerful. He had a nice connection launch. He utilized the buoyancy of the Cooper Kupp T Shirts turf."When the head coach offers that level of analysis regarding a spike, it's reasonable to think that his offense is clicking along just fine.WHATS WORKINGThe numbers scream this: The Dolphins are just different when Tagovailoa is on the field. In the five games he finished, they've averaged 26 points and converted 47.5% of their third downs. In the three games he didn't finish or play at all, they averaged 16 points and converted 28.6% of their third downs.WHAT NEEDS HELPThe secondary. The injuries are piling up back there for Miami and with the trade deadline looming Tuesday at 4 p.m., it's hard to imagine the Dolphins not trying to make some sort of move.STOCK UPThe entire pa sing game. Even with Hill on his record pace, Kareem Orr Jersey his co-star WR Jaylen Waddle who has 727 receiving yards and 17.3 yards per catch can't be overlooked. There were four 700-yard receivers in the NFL this season entering Monday and two of them play for the Dolphins.STOCK DOWNThe way the defense was for the first 30 minutes on Sunday. Miami allowed 27 points and 326 yards in the first half against the Lions. The Dolphins then gave up zero points and 67 yards in the second half, and it was the second consecutive game where Miami pitched a shutout after halftime.INJURIESDolphins guard Liam Eichenberg sprained an MCL on Sunday, a better-than-first-feared diagnosis after he left the game with a knee injury. We know he's going to be out. We just don't really know how long it will be," McDaniel said.KEY NUMBER160: Hill has four 160-yard receiving games so far this season. That's second most in Dolphins history. Mark Duper had six of those in 146 games. Hill has played eight games with Miami.NEXT UPPlayers were off Monday and will be off again Tuesday. The Dolphins resume practice Wednesday for a game Sunday at Chicago.___More AP NFL: hub/nfl and AP_NFL in this topic Tua Tagovailoa Miami Dolphins National Football League Alec Ingold Stefon Diggs Tyreek Hill Miami Dolphins Spain or Morocco?
