Good was good enough for Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill against San Diego on Sunday. He passed for 268 yards and one touchdown, but a rejuvenated ground game and a strong defense resulted in a win.
Tannehill, who also threw one interception, spread the ball around in the first half, hitting four different receivers for 20-plus yards by early in the second quarter. Though he completed just 8 of 14 for 115 yards after intermission, his 39-yard scoring strike to tight end Charles Clay midway through the third quarter proved to be the game-winner.
A far more difficult challenge lies ahead for Tannehill, who added 21 yards on four carries. The shutdown defense of Carolina will be coming to town next Sunday.
