Miami Dolphins: 10 observations from Week 15 loss vs. Bills

Miami Dolphins: 10 observations from Week 15 loss to Bills

4. Jaylen Waddle is back, baby

It had been a rough couple of weeks on the West Coast for Jaylen Waddle, as he came out of the trip to California with just 3 catches and 40 yards receiving over two games. But he made his presence felt in a big way against the Bills with multiple big plays for Miami.

The biggest came on Miami’s opening drive of the second half, when he caught a 27-yard pass from Tagovailoa. He added 40 yards of his own after the catch, the Dolphins added a touchdown, swinging the momentum in their favor at a time when they needed it most. Miami will need Waddle to have performances like this one if they hope to make any noise the rest of the season.

5. Cedrick Wilson Jr. with an incredible catch

Cedrick Wilson Jr. hasn’t done much this season other than call fair catch on punts and have a 2-catch game once every 4 weeks. But he came up huge on a play in the 4th quarter against the Bills, and we’d be talking about it as one of the biggest plays of the game had Miami held on for the victory.

Wilson Jr. “Mossed” a defender by catching a ball over his head and using his helmet to do so, resulting in a huge play that got the Dolphins into Bills territory late in the game. The drive wound up stalling at an inopportune point in the game, making the catch an afterthought. But I didn’t forget. I see you, Cedrick.
