Miami Dolphins safety Minkah Fitzpatrick crushed Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook with a tremendous hit during Thursday night's NFL preseason game at Hard Rock Stadium.
Fitzpatrick lined up Westbrook as he was crossing over the middle to catch a pass. Fitzpatrick led with his shoulder and hit Westbrook in the upper part of the chest just as the ball was caught, so the hit was legal. The bone-crushing hit served its purpose, as Westbrook dropped the ball before he hit the ground.

Fortunately, Westbrook was fine after the hit. He finished with 4 catches for 29 yards and a touchdown, which was the Jaguars' only score of the game as the Dolphins came away with a 22-7 win.
