There's a saying you get what you pay for. The Miami Dolphins invested in the NFL's highest paid cornerback duo and Sunday they finally got to see the fruits of what that tandem can do for their defense and the team.
Byron Jones missed much of the past three games with a groin injury, and his return in the Dolphins' 43-17 win against the San Francisco 49ers meant that the team's other top cornerback Xavien Howard finally had his tag-team partner back. Together they delivered a knockout, allowing 35 passing yards on seven combined targets, per NFL Next Gen Stats.
