Miami Dolphins extend lead over New England Patriots on Tua Tagovailoa's 42-yard TD to Jaylen Waddle

MIAMI — With so much attention on Miami Dolphins All-Pro receiver Tyreek Hill, some might have forgotten about Jaylen Waddle.

The second-year receiver gave fans a reminder of what he can do to close the first half Sunday, reeling in a 42-yard catch-and-run touchdown from Tua Tagovailoa to put the Dolphins up 17-0 over the New England Patriots.

Waddle was quiet for most of the first half, recording just one catch for eight yards on his lone target, but Tagovailoa found his former college teammate between three Patriots defenders for his second career passing touchdown of 40 or more yards, according to ESPN Stats and Info.

It was an impressive throw from Tagovailoa; Waddle had 0.8 yards of separation from Jalen Mills when the pass was thrown. Waddle did the rest from there, reaching a top speed of 20.8 miles per hour on the play, according to Next Gen Stats.

Before the score, Miami's offense largely centered around Hill, who finished the half with 77 yards and six catches on eight targets.
