In what was Mike McDaniel's first game as an NFL head coach, the former San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator wasn't afraid to take a few risks on the way to victory.
Up 10-0 looking to close out the first half with 24 seconds to go, McDaniel took a chance at fourth and seven on New England's 42 yard line.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa hit wideout Jaylen Waddle on a slant route through the middle and he was off to the races for a 42-yard touchdown.
A bold play call that star wideout Hill was impressed by.

Hill said postgame: "McDaniel’s gonna need a wheel barrow for his nuts to carry them around."
By comparison to the vivid imagery painted by Hill, Tagovailoa had a more family friendly response to McDaniel's decision.
Tagovailoa said: "I love it. He has the utmost confidence in the entire offense."
Whichever response you choose to focus on, McDaniel seems to have won his locker room over, as was evident postgame with a few of the players showering him in Gatorade.

McDaniels was keen to shift the praise away from himself and back to his players, however, responding to this impromptu shower with: "I didn't do s**t."
This win leaves Miami joint-top of the AFC East with the franchise's fourth straight win against their divisional rivals.
