BY THE NUMBERS
Receiving yard needed by WR Tyreek Hill and WR Jaylen Waddle to reach 3,000 combined receiving yards this season. They would become the fourth pair of teammates in NFL history to do this in a season.
Miami enters Week 18 ranked sixth in the NFL in total offense (368.4 yards per game). The Dolphins are looking to finish the season with a top 10 offense for the first time since 1995, when they were eighth.
Sacks by LB Jaelan Phillips this season. He needs one more sack to become the first player in Dolphins history to record at least eight sacks in each of his first two NFL seasons.
Straight games Miami has recorded multiple sacks. Extending this to nine would be tied for the second-longest such streak in team history.
Receiving yards needed by WR Jaylen Waddle to surpass WR Mark Clayton’s mark of 1,389 in 1984. Clayton held the team record that stood for nearly 40 years before WR Tyreek Hill broke it earlier this season.
