MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — When the Miami Dolphins scored on their opening possession for the second week in a row, Ryan Tannehill raised his index finger and sprinted down the field more than 50 yards to join the end zone celebration.
From there, Tannehill just kept going. He threw for four scores in the first 16 minutes and completed his first 18 passes to break an NFL record and help the Dolphins beat the hapless Houston Texans 44-26 Sunday.
The Dolphins led 41-0 at halftime en route to their highest-scoring game since 2002. Tannehill finished with a perfect passer rating of 158.
