After the Green Bay Packers tied the Miami Dolphins with a field goal on their first drive, the ball went back to Tua Tagovailoa and company.
The quarterback dropped back on a play-action play and hit second-year wideout Jaylen Waddle in stride on a crossing route. Waddle’s speed and a missed tackle allowed him to take that pass 84 yards for a touchdown, putting the Dolphins up 10-3 after just one play on their second drive.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the moment:
Jaylen Waddle is so freaking special — 84 yard touchdown!!!

Chase over waddle in the Pro Bowl what a joke

Jaylen Waddle being better in the NFL than he was in college was a no brainer to anyone. Unreal fluidity, speed and explosion combo.

Waddle says he should've been voted in Pro Bowl. Takes, nice 11-yard touch pass from Tua and goes 84 yds for TD. Dolphins 10-3.

Jaylen Waddle adds to his league leading yards per catch rate.
It’s safe to say he is running away with the title this season.
