Everyone thought the same thing when Tyreek Hill scored this touchdown against the Browns.
“Was he shooting his shot at the female ref?”
It sure looked like it.
The Dolphins have been on fire since Tua has come back.
The “MVP!” chants for Tua Tagovailoa started early in the second half, and they didn’t stop until after the game ended, as Tagovailoa flashed a smile and waved on his way off the field.
Tagovailoa maintained his scorching form since his return from a concussion, throwing three touchdown passes as the Miami Dolphins beat the Cleveland Browns 39-17 on Sunday for their fourth straight win.
In a game that was a blowout by the fourth quarter, Tagovailoa connected with three receivers for his third straight three-touchdown performance.
“Tua is playing very, very high-level football,” Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said. “It’s phenomenal to watch.”
Since returning in Week 7, Tagovailoa has 10 TD passes and no interceptions. He finished with 285 yards on 25-of-32 passing Sunday.
Miami (7-3) moved into first place alone in the AFC East, overtaking Buffalo, which lost in overtime to Minnesota and dropped into a tie with the New York Jets (6-3) in the stout division.
Tagovailoa said he was flattered by the crowd hyping him as an MVP candidate.
“It would be cool,” Tagovailoa said. “But we have bigger goals and aspirations on what we want to do as a team.”
Jeff Wilson rushed for 119 yards on 17 carries as the Dolphins finished with 491 yards of offense.
Jaylen Waddle had four receptions for 66 yards for Miami, and his fellow speedy receiver Tyreek Hill caught five passes for 44 yards, including a 2-yard TD catch in the third quarter that made it 30-10.
Tagovailoa’s other TD throw was a 14-yarder to Trent Sherfield with 32 seconds left before halftime, capping an efficient seven-play, 53-yard drive that took just 50 seconds. Sherfield’s TD was his first of the season.
The ref didn’t look pleased with Hill’s celebration, but she didn’t throw a flag.
