Dolphins ride Ryan Tannehill’s arm to win over 49ers

It happens at least once every game. Twitter suddenly has an influx of people who want to point to one play, one moment, to declare Ryan Tannehill a bust of a draft pick, a quarterback who cannot lead the team, and one who needs to be cut as soon as possible. On Sunday, that moment came when the Miami Dolphins got the ball back after a San Francisco 49ers touchdown and went three-and-out mid-way through the fourth quarter.

The Dolphins, starting with the ball at the San Francisco 24 yard line after a 78 yard kickoff return from Kenyan Drake, had a 17-14 lead with 7:22 remaining in the game.
