The pats had just scored to take a 10 nothing lead. But two things happened that never would have happened with past coaching staffs and personnel.
1. Philbin decided to use his timeouts at the end of the half to give the dolphins a chance to score no matter what the pats did on that drive.
2. Tannehill hit clutch 24 yard connection to Matthews to pick up a 3rd and ten. And then hit Wallace with zip on the ball to allow Wallace do what he was brought here to be: A playmaker.
Under past regimes we would not have used those timeouts, playing conservatively instead. If we did, when faced with a third and ten deep in our own territory, we probably would have seen our offense run the ball and just punt it back to the pats, and the pats would have scored again.
But philbin put the ball in Tannehill's hand, and Tannehill delivered. Also, we haven't had a WR since maybe Marshall that could take a deep post and take it 40+ yards for a TD. Wallace is finally earning his money.
Big play. Great coaching. Without it we would have lost by at least 10.
Great win, Go Fins!
