DAVIE, Fla. -- The term “game manager” is a label often thrown around in the NFL, and it’s usually not viewed as a compliment. The assumption is that the quarterback being called that is too limited to carry an offense and, therefore, must be heavily managed.
The moniker fits Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill's performance over the past month perfectly. Tannehill beat the New York Jets 27-23 with just 149 passing yards in Week 9.
It was Miami’s third win in a row, and Tannehill is averaging 201.7 passing yards over that span.
