Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill needed just eight games this season to break 1,000 receiving yards, as another stellar performance helped his team to victory on Sunday.

Hill came into this game with a league-leading 902 receiving yards, so he now sits at 1,014 yards. He is the fourth player in NFL history – first in the Super Bowl era – to reach 1,000 yards in just eight games.
