This game only showcased how Miami’s Big 3 – Waddle, Tyreek Hill and Tua have stood tall on the trust shown by the management and fans in them

On the same note, Sharpe added, “The last thing you wanna do – is make a mistake when you play against Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle because they are two of the fastest receivers in all of the league. So, now you got two guys who can stretch the field. But I was shocked, I thought this game was over. No way I thought Miami Dolphins can score 28 points in the fourth quarter. They (Miami Dolphins) win this game when the Ravens had dominated for three quarters.”
