Dolphins beat sloppy Jets but Tyreek Hill sustains probable season-ending injury | NFL

Darren Waller of Miami had a pair of Touched in his first NFL match in almost two years, but the first victory of the Dolphins of the season, a 27-21 victory over the New York Jets, was spoiled by a dislocated knee for their star receiver, Tyreek Hill.

Dolphins lost Hill in the third quarter. The quintuple All-Pro took a grip and clumsily landed on his left leg after being placed near the New York Jets touch line. The players of the two teams watched anxiously while Hill was expected, and he was then transported from the field. The Dolphins said in a statement that he “was taken to a local hospital for imagery, evaluation and observation”. The team’s head coach Mike McDaniel later confirmed that Hill struggled his left knee, an injury that will almost certainly end his season.

The 31 -year -old put a courageous face when he was withdrawn from the field, smiling and waving at the crowd of the house.

“It was probably the best mentality of all the players I have ever seen [have] Such a terrible experience, “said McDaniel.” He immediately had wide eyes and spoke: “I’m fine, just make sure the guys get this victory.” He was focused on the team. »»

Hill has 11,363 reception yards since entering the NFL in 2017, the most in the league during this period. He also has 819 catches, fourth in the league since 2017 behind only Davante Adams (886), Travis Kelce (880) and Stefon Diggs (824).

His former Kansas City Chiefs’ teammate, Patrick Mahomes, reacted to news on social networks. “Prayers Up Man … ..” The quarter-tree, which won the Super Bowl Liv alongside Hill, posted a short time after the injury.

On the field, Tua Tagovailoa launched 177 yards and two affected to lead the Dolphins to victory. The Quarterrière completed 17 of the 25 passes and had no turnover for the first time this season when he moved to 7-0 against the jets as a starter of Miami. The Dolphins (1-3) won their 10th consecutive home against the jets (0-4), who are still looking for their first victory under coach Aaron Glenn.

The jets pulled less than six with 1:49 to play when Garrett Wilson pulled in a jumping ball of 23 yards of Justin Fields, who ran it for a conversion of two points. After recovering the kick next to it, the dolphins went three and outside while working at 13 seconds. Miami then pinned the jets on their own yard line, and the match ended on a game where New York tried a series of side, one of which was reported as an illegal front pass.

“I don’t lose hope at all in our guys,” said Glenn after the match. “We just have to go back and work; That’s all we can do. “

Waller had not played for more than a year after his retirement in June 2024 as a member of the New York Giants. The 33 -year -old man left his retirement in July to play for Miami, but at the start, he did not practice much with the Dolphins in the hope of returning to the form of football. He caught a pass of four yards at the back of the Tagovailoa goal area in the fourth and a goal in the second quarter of the Dolphins’ beginnings. The 33-year-old scored again on taking nine yards in the third, which put Miami in advance 17-3. He finished with three receptions for 27 yards.

“It is a lot to treat, a lot emotionally, to be honest,” said Waller. “Very exciting. Just to be there all day, yeah. A little of fear, a little of everything … Just try to come back there, enter a rhythm and be someone on which this team can count.”

The dolphins have raised 123 yards on the ground behind the 20 races of De’von Achane for 99 yards. Achane has achieved a nine yards race.

Fields completed 20 of the 27 passes for 226 yards on his return from a concussion which put him away in week 3. He added 81 yards on the ground, including a 43 yards race for a fourth and one who pulled the jets in a touchdown of the third.

The jets won 197 of their 404 yards with a very effective floor game – they have an average of seven yards per postponement – but overthrowed the ball more than three times and were penalized 13 times for a total of 101 yards, including an offensive pass interference against Wilson which destroyed a touch in the third.

In the later match on Monday, the Denver Broncos went to 2-2 for the season after beating the Bengals of Cincinnati 28-3.

Bengals opened the scoring with a basket, but it was as good as for cincinnati that broncos took over. Bo Nix completed 29 of the 42 passes for 326 yards, two affected and interception. Broncos have also set up 186 yards on the ground against the trembling defense of Bengals. Cincinnati began season 2-0, but has been struggling since the loss of quarter-Arrière Star Joe Burrow for at least three months with an injury to the toes.
