The Miami Dolphins scored 70 points in a game Sunday, and no, that’s not a typo. They scored 70 POINTS in a single game!
Those points came courtesy of the Denver Broncos defense, which looked absolutely helpless to anything Miami did.
Even without injured wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 23 of 26 passes for 309 yards and four touchdowns. And what his running backs did was especially impressive.
Starting back Raheem Mostert, who caught one of Tagovailoa’s four touchdown passes, also ran for 82 yards and three more touchdowns. Rookie Devon Achane exploded for 203 yards and two touchdowns on the ground with another two touchdowns receiving.
