[h=3]5) Ryan Tannehill has found it[/h]


Oh, he deserves so much credit for turning it around after a horrendous start. In the first five games of the season, the Dolphins QB posted a TD-to-INT ratio of 6:7 and took 17 sacks. Consequently, Miami went 1-4. But over the last four games -- all Dolphins wins -- Tannehill has thrown four touchdowns against zero interceptions and taken just three sacks.

Still, this is fiction.


You can't eradicate the uninspiring start -- or the past four years. Tannehill has evened out his play and was very effective Sunday at San Diego (completing 17 of 24 passes for 240 yards and two touchdowns) in a big win for Miami. But I still wonder about Tannehill's overall skills. What does he do well consistently?

Miami Dolphins 31, San Diego Chargers 24

1. On a day when Rivers reached the 300-touchdown club and bypassed Hall of Famer John Elway for eighth place on the all-time list, he tied a single-game career high with four back-breaking interceptions. All four came in the fourth quarter of a back-and-forth contest. The first was thrown in the end zone after the Bolts were gifted four plays inside Miami's 5-yard line due to a muffed punt and a defensive holding penalty. The second was picked off in the red zone with a chance to take the lead. The third was the go-ahead touchdown by Alonso in a tie game. The fourth ended any chance of a comeback attempt in the one-minute drill. Rivers had been enjoying a Pro Bowl-caliber season, but his miscues in the final 13 minutes of Sunday's tilt dropped the Chargers out of realistic postseason contention in a stacked AFC West.


2. In contrast to Rivers, Ryan Tannehill enjoyed one of his finest afternoons, extending plays and taking shots downfield. His 130.6 passer rating was the second-highest single-game mark of his career. On one of the most impactful sequences of the day -- and perhaps, ultimately, the season -- Tannehill slipped from Melvin Ingram's clutches and scampered 18 yards for a first down. Three snaps later, he lofted a perfect pass into Damien Williams' hands for an 18-yard touchdown and a 21-17 lead. In yet another display of toughness, Tannehill took a shot to the neck from Corey Liuget on a 56-yard bomb to Devante Parker, leading to the tying field goal. Jay Ajayi's emergence as a top-flight power back means it's no longer incumbent on Tannehill to carry the offense. To his credit, he was more than a game manager on Sunday.

3. Ajayi and Melvin Gordon entered the game as the two hottest running backs in the league, combining for 998 rushing yards over the previous four weeks. Both defenses did a commendable job of bottling up the two hard-charging runners. Half of Ajayi's production came via one early-third quarter run of 40 yards. Gordon was more effective in the passing game, becoming just one of six backs with 300 receiving yards this season.

I'm just glad Gase is taking your advice

Just win baby!

I have been very critical of TH from the beginning of his time as a Dolphins, but he played the best game of his career yesterday and the throws he made were flat out spectacular. He is not a franchise QB in the way a Brees or Rodgers is, but bless TH. He has come a long way and he is responding with great coaching. Good for him and the Phins.

P.S. **** the media! Phins up.

RT is a stud! He takes a pounding and stays in the pocket like nobody else. Is he the most accurate QB in the game? No but he is without a doubt the toughest SOB playing the position since Brett Favre. He can make all the throws, can run and doesn't throw Int's. He's a winner in my book!
