SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- On the first play from scrimmage Sunday, the Miami Dolphins set the tone against the San Francisco 49ers.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa found wide receiver Trent Sherfield on a 10-yard slant route. Sherfield, making his return to Levi's Stadium after spending last season with the 49ers, then ran the remaining 65 yards untouched for a 75-yard touchdown.
Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill drew double coverage, freeing up Sherfield over the middle of the field. It marked the longest touchdown pass of Tagovailoa's career and nearly doubled Sherfield's previous long reception of 38 yards, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
