MIAMI GARDENS — The NFL’s top-ranked player has two touchdowns this season. He’s tied for 48th in yards per catch. He has roughly half the catches, half the targets and half the first downs per game from his previous two Miami Dolphins seasons. How did Tyreek Hill get turned into Braxton Berrios? It’s not the wrist injury, his coaches say.

Feeling stuffy and ready to reach for NyQuil, Benadryl, or Sudafed PE? Not so fast.
