The Miami Dolphins’ success in the run game against the Broncos on Sunday afternoon was a mix of head coach Mike McDaniel being Jimmy Neutron with his play calling and the offensive line being unstoppable.
In the third quarter of Denver’s 70-20 loss, the Dolphins were facing a third-and-10 with 8:53 to go when quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was in the backfield with running back Raheem Mostert and rookie De’Von Achane lined up out wide. Tagovailoa faked a handoff to Mostert before tossing the ball to Achane in motion on an end around.
The Texas A&M product, who rushed for 203 yards on 18 carries, had multiple Denver defenders slipping and sliding as he ran 40 yards to the Broncos’ 5-yard line.
