"Aided by Hill's good spirit in the wake of his tragic injury, the Miami offense responded well within the game against the Jets. Three plays after the scary scene, Waller caught his second touchdown to put the Dolphins up two scores. After the Jets narrowed the deficit thanks to a highlight-reel touchdown scramble by quarterback Justin Fields, Miami scored again, this time it was running back De'Von Achane."
"That all can serve as a microcosm of what Miami must do going forward to turn one win into momentum in the face of the adversity of losing Hill. "I guess it'll take what the players were doing after he left," coach Mike McDaniel said. "It's football. It's 100 percent injury rate. Man, he's great, valuable and a very important player to us, but every team has the same situation going on, different cadence. Everybody has injuries no one cares about.""
Tyreek Hill suffered a season-ending knee dislocation with multiple torn ligaments, including the ACL, leaving the Miami Dolphins to adjust without their 31-year-old speedster. Miami secured a 27-21 victory over the New York Jets, generating three turnovers and receiving immediate contributions from newcomer Darren Waller, who scored twice, and running back De'Von Achane. The offense responded after Hill's injury and converted opportunities into points despite the emotional moment. Coach Mike McDaniel stressed that injuries affect every team and urged continued team play and improved turnover margin ahead of a short week preparing for the Carolina Panthers.
