Tannehill lights up the sky, smokes Patriots

Although the Miami Dolphins’ stunning gadget play with no time left, to win the game, has rightly received most of the attention in the aftermath of Miami’s victory over New England last Sunday, what has been overlooked by many is just how well Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill played in this game.

The seventh year quarterback threw for a modest 265 yards, but did so on just nineteen attempts, averaging a ridiculous 13.9 yards per throw for a nearly 74 percent completion rate and three touchdowns. Oh, and just for good measure, he turned in a 155 point quarterback rating, besting Tom Brady’s rating for the game by more than forty points.
