The Dolphins' offense was kept in check for most of the first half, but then Tyreek Hill did Tyreek Hill things. 

Hill flew past the Eagles' defense and hauled in a 27-yard touchdown pass from Tua Tagovailoa late in the second quarter. 

Josh Sweat and rookie Nolan Smith recorded sacks and plenty of other Eagles like Haason Reddick and Jalen Carter have been in the backfield throughout the game. 

Dolphins wideout Jaylen Waddle is questionable to return to the game with a back injury.
