With only minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter and the Dolphins up 21 – 9 quarterback Ryan Tannehill was hit square on the knee by Cardinals defender Calais Campbell. Tannehill was visibly shaken on the ground and limped off the field.
A short few minutes later Tannehill limped to the locker room. He would return in street clothes.
As Tannehill sat on the teams bench, his leg propped up next to him, his offensive players came by to give him hugs and words of encouragement but it was his eyes, red from what looked to be tears, that told what may be more of the story.
