Matt Moore Named AFC Offensive Player Of The Week

DAVIE (CBSMiami) – When a team loses its starting quarterback, that season generally goes downhill from there.

Of course there is always an exception to the rule, and it appears that the Miami Dolphins may have found that loophole this season.

Backup quarterback Matt Moore stepped in for starter Ryan Tannehill two Sunday’s ago against the Arizona Cardinals after the latter suffered a sprained ACL and MCL in his left knee.

Moore led the Dolphins on a game-winning drive in the final minutes to keep the team in the AFC Playoff race.

After the game it became clear that for at least the immediate future, Moore would be the one to lead the Dolphins offense.
