Eagles vs. Dolphins Top stats to know in potential Super Bowl preview with fireworks expected on Sunday night

There will be shortage of storylines and stats when it comes to talking Dolphins-Eagles on "Sunday Night Football." preview, game of the year, first matchup between and , track meet between the hottest two wideouts in the league. This game has all the potential so hop on the hype train and check out the stats you need to know for this affair:The have the second-most total yards (2,992) by any team through six games in history, behind the 2000 "Greatest Show on Turf" (3,056).They have the fastest offense in the league. Need proof? They have the . Miami also has 10 TD drives or three plays or fewer this year, already more than any team had all of last season.Miami had stretches of excellence last year, but nothing quite like this, and unlike last season, they looked poised to keep it going thanks to incredible balance on the Brad Daugherty Jersey ground and through the air. The Dolphins are the first team to lead the league in both pa sing and rushing yards per game through Week 6 since the 1964 . The last team to do this for a full season was the 1941 .They are the first team since the 1958 with 15 touchdown pa ses and 15 touchdown runs in any six-game span.The know a thing or two about balance, too. Both teams are currently on pace to be the fifth and sixth teams since 1970 to average at least 240 pa s yards and 150 rush yards per game in a season. The 1984 , 1986 , 1998 49ers and 2013 Eagles also did it.We've seen Tagovailoa replace Hurts at halftime and lead Alabama to a national championship. We also witne sed Hurts replace Tagovailoa in the following SEC Championship Game to lead the Tide to another victory over Georgia. Now the journey intersects for the first time in the Kevin Porter Jersey NFL.Both have been MVP contenders in the last two years by doing it in different ways.. Tagovailoa has the quickest average time to throw in the NFL, but still leads the league in yards per pa s attempt thanks to McDaniel's scheme, fast playmakers and Tua's precision accuracy.Hurts has a case for the best dual-threat QB in the league, but is looking to bounce back from a three-interception performance in last week's lo s to the . He has forced a few throws and already has more interceptions this year (seven) than all of last year (six). He can ill-afford to give Miami's offensive more opportunities and better field position on Sunday night.I wrote earlier this week about howafter both were acquired in blockbuster deals last offseason. They rank one-two in receiving yards this year and have more history on the line Sunday night. Hill has the second-most receiving yards (814) through six games in NFL history behind Don Hutson (819) for the 1942 . With 186 yards on Sunday, Hill would match Charley Hennigan (1961 Oilers) as the fastest player to 1,000 receiving yards in a season (seven games). Hill is on pace for 2,306 receiving yards this year!A.J. Brown has four straight games of 125 receiving yards, one shy of matching (2012) for the longest streak since 1970.Expect plenty of head shaking from defensive coaches. These teams are doing things on offense that nobody can stop, and everyone is trying to replicate.Dolphins "cheat motion":Mike McDaniel and Miami are leaders of the motion movement in the NFL. The league Taurean Prince Jersey uses motion on nearly 50% of plays and nobody uses it more than the Dolphins, who are at 77%. It's not just window dre sing. They average 8.5 yards per play with motion and 6.5 without it.McDaniel's newest wrinkle, "cheat motion" gets speedsters like Tyreek Hill moving toward the line of scrimmage as the ball is being snapped, e sentially giving the fastest player in the NFL a head start. He leads the NFL in scrimmage yards as the player in motion (222) this season, nearly matching his total on these plays from all of last year (267). Kyle Shanahan has seen Mike McDaniels unique pre-snap motion take the league by storm with Tyreek Hill.His name for it?Cheat motion. Because its cheating. KNBR (@KNBR) Eagles "Brotherly Shove": The Eagles don't have "cheat motion," but they do have a cheat code of their own. The Eagles have been succe sful on the "Tush Push" 13 of Larry Nance Jersey 16 times (81%) this season, compared with 28 of 39 (72%) for the rest of the NFL. They are leading a QB sneak mania! There have been 115 QB sneaks this season, up from 80 through Week 6 last season, and 31 from back in 2017.We can talk blazing speed and innovative offense all day, but this one (like many) may be decided in the trenches. The Eagles have a few injuries up front that can swing this game:Eagles' rookie DT averages 4.6 pre sures per game this year, second among interior linemen behind (5.0). He's a game-wrecker who is looking to return from a one-game absence (ankle). Eagles' RT could play after hurting his ankle in Week 6. If history is any indication they will need him. The Eagles are 13-23 without him since he entered the league.He and are looking to continue their ironman streak without allowing a sack. It's been over two years since either Johnson or Kelce was credited with a sack allowed by Pro Football Focus. Johnson has gone 1,249 straight pa s block snaps without allowing a sack, the third-longest active streak in the NFL. The second-longest streak belongs to Jason Kelce (1,285), who trails only (1,572).If there's such a thing as a slow 5-1 start, the Eagles have it. They've outscored teams by 31 points in six games and are coming off a lo s to the Jets. They will certainly be put to the test in the next two months. Six of their next seven opponents rank top-six in the NFL in odds (Dolphins, , Bills, 49ers, twice). If the Eagles aren't the same team as last year after losing both coordinators Matthew Dellavedova Jersey and some talent on both sides of the ball, they will be exposed coming up.
