Dolphins’ Jerome Baker’s Pick-Six Levels Game Against Eagles

In an exciting matchup, the Miami Dolphins locked horns with the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night, where it was Miami’s defense that made a game-changing play.

Kohou’s Deflection Sets the Stage

Dolphins cornerback Kader Kohou played a pivotal role when he deflected a pass by Eagles’ quarterback Jalen Hurts. The deflected ball was subsequently intercepted by linebacker Jerome Baker, who returned it 21 yards for a touchdown, leveling the score at 17-17.

Missed Opportunity for the Dolphins

Miami had a near-miss when Tua Tagovailoa attempted a pass to Tyreek Hill, which Hill unfortunately dropped. This missed opportunity was followed by a failed fourth-down conversion attempt, granting the Eagles possession on their own 21-yard line due to an apparent facemask penalty that went uncalled.

Breaking the Turnover Drought

The Dolphins entered Week 7 without having forced a turnover since Week 3. Jerome Baker’s interception marked a significant moment for the team, as it was their first pick-six since Xavien Howard intercepted Patriots’ quarterback Mac Jones in the final game of the 2021 season.

Tyreek Hill’s Seventh Receiving Touchdown

While the Eagles are known for their “Brotherly Shove” play, they faced another challenge in the form of “Tyreek Go Deep.” Tua Tagovailoa connected with Tyreek Hill for a 27-yard touchdown late in the second quarter, showcasing the NFL’s top-ranked offense.

Hill’s Exceptional Performance

Tyreek Hill showcased his exceptional skills by splitting double coverage on the play, leaving Eagles’ cornerback James Bradberry and safety Terrell Edmunds in the dust. This touchdown marked Hill’s seventh of the season, with him having scored in all but one game.

Tagovailoa’s Key Contribution

Tagovailoa’s pass to Hill wouldn’t have been possible without his earlier 29-yard completion to Cedrick Wilson Jr. on a deep corner route. Wilson made an impressive catch, ensuring both feet were in bounds before falling.

Tagovailoa’s Quarterback Mastery

Tagovailoa was on fire during that drive, completing all six of his pass attempts for a total of 86 yards and the touchdown to Hill. However, it was a stark contrast to the Dolphins’ largely struggling performance in the first half, with only 113 total yards and negative rushing yards to show for their efforts.
