Sunday night is always the one that keeps NFL fans on the edge. The thrilling football showdown this past weekend ended with the Miami Dolphins hard-fought 24-17 win over their AFC East rivals, the New England Patriots. This victory propelled the Dolphins to an impressive 2-0 start to the season. But the Patriots found themselves in unfamiliar territory, beginning the year at 0-2 for the first time since their legendary Super Bowl-winning 2001 season.

One of the standout stars of the night was Dolphins’ running back Raheem Mostert, who electrified the field with a remarkable performance, amassing 121 rushing yards and notching two crucial touchdowns. The stage was set; the stakes were high, and the Dolphins had etched their mark early in the season with a statement win.

Speed demons of the NFL

Raheem Mostert’s post-injury resurgence is undeniable. He is displaying even more explosiveness this season. Most notably, he reached one of the highest speeds among ball carriers in the NFL on his impressive 43-yard run at 21.62 mph. The Dolphin’s Running Back is known to have the second-fastest touchdown by a ball carrier this season.

While the Dolphins have clearly improved their run game in the second year of their new system, another NFL speedster, Tyreek Hill, stands out as the fastest ball carrier. According to NFL’s Next Gen Stats, Hill reached a top speed of 21.66 mph on a 47-yard catch and 21.52 mph on a 35-yard catch, making him the fastest player in the league with the ball this season. Hill and Mostert are astonishingly close to the legendary sprinter Usain Bolt, who recorded a top speed of 27.8 mph during his world-record 100-meter sprint.
