As a longtime Kyle Shanahan acolyte, Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has a Master’s degree in using a diverse and explosive run game to set up big-time passing plays. It seemed that the Dolphins were slow-rolling the Buffalo Bills with this all the way through the first quarter, when running back Raheem Mostert gained 101 yards on the ground on just eight carries, while quarterback Tua Tagovailoa continued the struggles he had against the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Chargers over the last two weeks.
With 12:48 left in the third quarter, and the Bills up, 21-13, the threat of the run gave Tagovailoa a look that any quarterback with two ridiculous speed receivers (like the Dolphins have in Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle) would absolutely love.
