Vikings have to 'build a roof' over Dolphins' potent receiver duo

Star Tribune | October 14, 2022

No NFL teammates have combined for more receiving yards than Miami's Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, who can catch the Vikings napping if they sleep on No. 3 quarterback Skylar Thompson.

Receiver Tyreek Hill, one of the fastest players in the NFL, has 524 yards in five games in his first season in Miami after being traded from Kansas City.

Ed Donatell's Broncos were 0-5 against the Chiefs when Kansas City receiver Tyreek Hill started during Donatell's tenure as defensive coordinator.

But Hill rarely had a major impact on the game, never finishing with more than six catches or 74 yards in a single outing against a Broncos secondary that tried to "build a roof" over one of the NFL's fastest players with deep zone coverages that Donatell, now the Vikings' defensive coordinator, will likely deploy in Miami on Sunday.
