Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins’ season continues to shine as they moved to 7-3 with their 39-17 week ten win over the Cleveland Browns.
Tagovailoa threw three touchdowns in the contest, and Miami’s running back duo of Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr. ran all over the Browns defense. The Dolphins defense also quieted the critics by holding Browns superstar running back Nick Chubb to just 63 yards on the ground, which is his second-lowest rushing total of the season.
The Dolphins offense, led by Tagovailoa and crew, had a phenomenal performance in which the passing department and running game combined for almost 500 yards of offense; Tagovailoa threw for 285 yards along with three touchdowns, as previously mentioned.
Fullback Alec Ingold caught the first touchdown of the game on a 13-yard pass from Tagovailoa, followed by a touchdown for wide receiver Trent Sherfield who had a great game adding four catches for 63 yards to go along with the touchdown and the third touchdown pass of the game for Tagovailoa going to the Cheetah himself, Tyreek Hill; Hill finished the game with five receptions for 44 yards and the touchdown.

In the running game for Miami, Jeff Wilson Jr. and Raheem Mostert had a fantastic game on the ground. In his home debut, Wilson Jr. finished the win with 17 carries for 119 yards and a touchdown to go along with two catches for 24 yards. As for Mostert, he ran eight times for 65 yards and a touchdown, plus four catches for 22 yards.
With that said, much credit and praise should be given to the Miami Dolphins offensive line as they did a tremendous job of protecting Tagovailoa as he did not get sacked during the contest; the o-line also did an excellent job of opening up holes in the run game. Captain left tack Terron Armstead has made such a difference to this offensive line, and you can see his effect on his teammates. Armstead has been battling a toe injury throughout the season; he does not practice during the week but is always ready to go for game day.
The Dolphins defense also had a solid afternoon with big-time performances coming from superstar defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, veteran cornerback Justin Bethel, and a solid day for captain linebacker Elandon Roberts who laid out multiple Browns players.
Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips also had an excellent game as Chubb made his home debut and combined with Phillips for a crucial sack on Browns quarterback Jacoby Brissett.

Something of note, star defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah suffered a season-ending torn tricep.
Last but not least, head coach Mike McDaniel continues to impress the world game in and game out as the drastic change in the Miami Dolphins is night and day when comparing last season’s team to this season’s team.
Tua on Mike McDaniel: "he's a man of the people. he has no ego toward what he believes is right or wrong. and then again, it's OUR TEAM, that's what he'll tell you. just him being himself is really what helps us to be able to be ourselves. we don't have to be anyone we're not."

As for Cleveland, their defense could not stop Miami’s high-powered offense, and their offense couldn’t put up the points needed to keep up with the Dolphins.
The Dolphins will look to add their eighth win on the year when they host the Houston Texans in week twelve after their week eleven bye.
The Browns will look to bounce back in week ten against another AFC East team, the Buffalo Bills.
