The Miami Dolphins finished the year with a 10-6 record and their first playoff appearance since 2008, with quartarback Ryan Tannehill finishing the season with career highs in completion percentage, yards per attempt, and passer rating. He also missed the final three games of the regular season and the Wildcard playoff game after a sprained knee ended his season.
Backup quarterback Matt Moore than came in for the final three games, with the Dolphins winning two of those, before being blown-out by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the postseason tournament. In those three (plus) games, Moore threw for over 700 yards with eight touchdowns to three interceptions and a career high (in seasons with at least one start) 105.
