I think, today it definitely was. They were on the same page for sure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              2023 NFL season, Week 1: What We Learned from Sunday&#x27;s games            <\/li>\n<li>              2023 NFL season, Week 1: Notable injuries, news from Sunday&#x27;s games            <\/li>\n<li>              Dolphins vs. Chargers highlights | Week 1            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tagovailoa and Hill were surely on the same page, and it was one a beleaguered Chargers defense read over and over.<\/p>\n<p>Playing for the first time since Week 17 last season due to a concussion, Tagovailoa triumphantly returned to the tune of 466 yards on 28-of-45 passing with three touchdowns and a 110.0 rating. Hill caught a pair of those touchdowns to go with 11 receptions and a mind-spinning 215 yards.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was just really excited to be out there again,&#8221; Tagovailoa said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think anything else relates to the adrenaline rush that you get when you go out there. You have the fans &#8212; even when you&#8217;re warming up, you can smell the popcorn. There are just a lot of things that you just can&#8217;t really emulate. Being able to go out there with the guys, it was awesome.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Awesome was one of an abundance of superlatives that could&#8217;ve been used to describe Hill.<\/p>\n<p>It was Hill&#8217;s third career game with 200-plus yards and two or more receiving touchdowns &#8212; the most of any player in the Super Bowl era, per NFL Research. It was also the second-most receiving yards in a Week 1 game during the Super Bowl era. Meanwhile, Tagovailoa&#8217;s 466 yards were the most against the Chargers in their history and the third-highest mark of any QB in a Week 1 game (in the Super Bowl era).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I always feel like nobody can guard me as a competitor,&#8221; Hill said after the game. &#8220;I feel like if you ask anybody in our room, they&#8217;ll say the same thing &#8212; can&#8217;t nobody guard me or them. I just feel like that&#8217;s just a competitive mindset. I want the ball. Well, that sounds kind of like crazy. But yeah, like I just feel like can&#8217;t nobody guard me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Eye-popping as the stats were, it was Tagovailoa and Hill&#8217;s ability to come up clutch that stood tallest at the end of Sunday following their connection for a 4-yard game-winning TD from Tagovailoa with 1:45 to go.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a situation where we needed to go down and we needed to score in order to give our team an opportunity to be in the lead,&#8221; Tagovailoa said. &#8220;I think our guys did a phenomenal job of not losing their composure in the heat of the moment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s always tough to come into another stadium and come out with a win. That&#8217;s a tough team, and we&#8217;re very glad that we got to get the win.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tagovailoa&#8217;s back, he&#8217;s healthy and he was on his game.<\/p>\n<p>For McDaniel, it might just be Week 1, but it was a performance that left him justified &#8212; sorta.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s validating to me because I don&#8217;t feel crazy,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That&#8217;s kind of what I expected to happen with the work that he&#8217;s done. I think he needs to continue &#8212; literally, it&#8217;s the easiest most layup coaching point of all time &#8212; continue to do what you&#8217;re doing. Honestly, that&#8217;s where he&#8217;s at.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s as coachable as any player I&#8217;ve ever been around in my life. I want him to keep doing that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/tua-tagovailoa-tyreek-hill-put-up-historic-week-1-numbers-to-rally-dolphins-past\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Tua Tagovailoa\ufeff, Tyreek Hill and the Miami Dolphins aren&#8217;t going to lose many track meets.
