On Sunday, the Dolphins record was 4-6 with Seattle coming into town as a force in the NFC. Tannehill has been shaky his last 3 games throwing 5 interceptions with an 0-3 record. This was a must win in South Florida. It started off as a defensive battle with the score 0-0 halfway through the second quarter, but Reggie Bush came through big with a 21 yard touchdown to put the Dolphins ahead 7-0. Soon after, the Seahawks countered with a great play by Golden Tate to put it at the 5 on a key 3rd down. Going into halftime, the score was tied, 7-7. In the second quarter, Ryan Tannehill became the leading rookie passer in Miami Dolphins history passing the Hall of Fame QB Dan Marino.
With the Dolphins down in the 4th quarter, 14-7, Tannehill led the 'Phins down the field with a 8 play, 82 yard drive to tie the game at 14-14. The very next play, Leon Washington of the Seahawks returns the kickoff for 98 yard touchdown. Tannehill then proceeds to take Miami 80 yards where he connects with Charles Clay for 29 yards for a TD. After a big defensive stop, the Miami defense gave Ryan T. the ball with a 1:32 left in the game, needing a field goal to win. He goes 3-3 against one of the best defensive teams in the league, and marches down giving the Phins a chance to win. Chris Carpenter knocked it through, and BOOM! The Dolphins playoff hopes are still alive.
Next week, the New England Patriots visit the Miami Dolphins at 1 ET, with a huge divisional battle. Dare we must say this is another must-win? We think so...
