Late during the 2016 NFL season, as the Miami Dolphins were making a push toward their first playoff appearance since 2008, starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill sustained a sprained knee and was lost for the remainder of the season. Reserve quarterback Matt Moore stepped in and finished what Tannehill started, getting the team into the postseason with a 2-1 record in his three starts.
But, apparently Moore was not the only quarterback head coach Adam Gase had on his mind when the injury to Tannehill happened.
According to a report from the New Orleans Times-Picayune on Friday, Archie Manning said there was contact between Miami head coach Adam Gase and his former quarterback, the retired Peyton Manning.
