The ‘Monday Night Football’ game between the Miami Dolphins and the Tennessee Titans was a nightmare for the hosts. Without Tua Tagovailoa, Miami had a poor performance in the offense, in a lackluster night from Tyler Huntley and Jaylen Waddle in Week 4 of the 2024 NFL season.
Tyreek Hill tried hard to find Huntley’s passes, but there wasn’t a real good connection between them. The other players were not good enough either, something that explains perfectly the great gap among the teams.
Because of the disconnection within the players, Waddle was serious about the improvement the Dolphins need in the next matches. At 1-3 after four weeks, the WR called on his teammates to turn up their game.
“Playmakers got to be playmakers. We have to be better than good when you’re starting quarterback is out,” Waddle told, via Safed Deen of USA Today. With this strong wake-up call to his teammates, Jaylen also wants the team to play better for Huntley, who arrived two weeks ago: “He’s new here. We just have to go out and make plays for him.”
