Tannehill has started all seven games for Miami this season after being selected in the first round (eighth overall) by the Dolphins in the 2012 draft. On the day, he had completed two passes in five attempts for 18 yards.
Matt Moore, who played in 13 games for the Dolphins in 2011, is now in at quarterback.
Moore looked a lot better than he did in the Preseason. However it was the Jets, but if Tannehill isn’t ready next week I don’t think Miami loses too much at the position. However it was exciting to see Tannehill get better game after game.
