NFL: Miami Dolphins at Baltimore Ravens

Tyreek Hill has now accomplished something GOAT Jerry Rice never did. Randy Moss could only dream of doing what we’ve seen from the Miami Dolphins star.

Taking on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 17, Hill had tallied five receptions for 70 yards heading into halftime. It put him at 1,711 yards on the season. In the process, Hill became the first player in NFL history to record consecutive seasons with at least 1,700 receiving yards.

The seven-time Pro Bowler has just been magical for NFL MVP candidate Tua Tagovailoa. In fact, the signal caller boasts an absurd 128.3 QB rating when targeting Hill on the season.

Prior to missing Week 15 due to an injury, Hill was considered a legitimate MVP candidate himself. But he was not worried as much about that as breaking the single-season record for receiving yards.

As for what we’re seeing on Sunday, Hill and his Dolphins are not getting it done against a conference-best Baltimore Ravens squad. The team found itself down 28-13 at halftime with MVP favorite Lamar Jackson having tallied 280 total yards in the first two quarters alone.

The first half also included Hill dropping what was a sure-fire touchdown pass from Tua.

He also pulled up lame with what appeared to be a lower-body injury. That certainly is something to monitor as the NFL Week 17 schedule plays out.
