Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill's trouble finding the range on his deep ball continued in Week 12, and ended up costing the Dolphins some big plays in a 20-16 loss to the Panthers.
Though Tannehill was able to find Mike Wallace for a 53-yard touchdown in the first quarter, he even underthrew Wallace on that score. Tannehill ended up connecting with Wallace for 127 yards on five receptions. Unfortunately, Tannehill probably left points on the board at least one or two other times with poor throws on deep passes, which he acknowledged after the game.
"It was good to hit a couple deep ones. Obviously we needed to hit one in the second half," Tannehill told the Sun-Sentinel.
Tannehill finished the game with a very solid line despite his struggles on deep passes, as he completed 28 of 42 passes for 310 yards. He had just one touchdown, and was intercepted once.
Tannehill has 15 touchdowns and 12 interceptions on the season, heading into Week 13 against the Jets in New York.
