LOS ANGELES -- A familiar narrative was playing out for the Miami Dolphins Sunday evening against the Los Angeles Rams. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill was struggling, had little pass protection and faced a double-digit deficit on the road in the final six minutes of the game.
Usually, those circumstances lead to defeat for Miami, especially on the road. But there is something different about this year’s Dolphins and particularly Tannehill.
The fifth-year veteran, who often struggled throughout his career in fourth quarters, has suddenly developed the ability to perform in the clutch.
