"Dolphins dominate Commanders with 45-15 victory, Tyreek Hill's 2 TDs, Miami's 9-3 record, Commanders face major changes."

The Miami Dolphins dominated the Washington Commanders in a 45-15 victory on Sunday. Receiver Tyreek Hill made a significant impact, scoring two touchdowns, one of which was a 78-yard reception in the first quarter. This impressive performance earned him a place in franchise history alongside Paul Warfield.

Andrew Van Ginkel also contributed with a pick-six, and Raheem Mostert scored a 1-yard touchdown. De'Von Achane further solidified the Dolphins' lead with two touchdowns in the third quarter. The team finished with 20 first downs, a 67% third-down conversion rate, and 406 total yards, averaging 6.9 yards per play.

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had an impressive game, completing 18-of-24 passes for 280 yards and two touchdowns. The Dolphins' strong performance led to Tagovailoa being pulled from the game in the fourth quarter, allowing backup Mike White to take over.

On the Commanders' side, quarterback Sam Howell struggled, completing 12-of-23 passes for 127 yards with an interception. Despite rushing for two touchdowns, including a 13-yard run, Howell was sacked three times.

The Dolphins' victory brings their record to 9-3, their best start since 2001, and gives them a significant lead in the AFC East. Meanwhile, the Commanders, with a record of 4-9, face the possibility of major changes in the near future.

As the Dolphins head into a Week 14 bye, they are in a strong position to continue their success, with a Monday night game against the Titans on the horizon. The Commanders, on the other hand, are left to contemplate their future as they navigate a challenging season.
