Rookie Ryan Tannehill threw a pair of touchdown passes and former Miami starter Chad Henne struggled in his return to Sun Life Stadium, as the Dolphins earned a 24-3 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Henne spent the previous four seasons in Miami and had a record of 13-18 as the Dolphins' starting quarterback, including 0-4 last year before a shoulder injury ended his campaign in October.
Tannehill won the job in a training camp battle with Matt Moore and has led the Dolphins (6-8) to as many wins as they had all of last year. On Sunday he completed 22-of-28 passes for 220 yards without an interception and also ran for 52 yards on eight carries.
Reggie Bush added 104 yards on the ground for Miami, which dominated for most of the second half and scored the game's final 24 points while the Dolphin defense also stopped the Jaguars three times on fourth down inside Miami territory.

Dolphins Handle Jacksonville
Ryan Tannehill took some hits when he came to the sideline following the Miami Dolphins' final score. The rookie weaved along the bench playfully jostled by a nudge to the ribs, slaps on the helmet and whacks on the back. It was standard stuff as NFL celebrations go, but unusual for Tannehill and Miami's offense.
