The Miami Dolphins entered the second quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs down 7-0, and Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker extended the lead to 10-0.
When Miami got the ball back, they knew they needed to start scoring and doing so fast. Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa hit wide receiver Tyreek Hill for a nine-yard gain on the first play, and then hit him again for a 53-yard score on the second.

This was Tagovailoa’s first career playoff touchdown, and, of course, he had to get his favorite target a touchdown against his former team. They’ll need more of those if they want to upset Kansas City.
