The Indianapolis Colts and Miami Dolphins, thought to be rebuilding projects, both enter Sunday’s matchup with 4-3 records and playing for a potential playoff wild card. While many analysts projected Colts QB Andrew Luck to eventually become one of the league’s elite, no one believed Luck or his counterpart Miami’s Ryan Tannehill to bring instant success to their respective franchises. Unfortunately for Dolphins fans, there is an estimated 50% chance that Tannehill will miss this upcoming game due to bruised knee, which forced him out of last Sunday’s road victory over the hapless New York Jets. However, he is expected to start and play unless he is severely hampered by his lack of mobility. Head Coach Joe Philbin would likely be forced to substitute in Matt Moore, who was 11 for 19 and r...

Dolphins like Tannehill more than Colts' Luck
DAVIE, Fla. -- The "Suck for Luck" campaign was in full force a year ago. The Miami Dolphins were 0-7 and in position to land Andrew Luck with the top pick in the NFL draft.

But the Dolphins have come out OK. They managed to get...

You could easily make the argument that Ryan Tannehill has exceeded expectations as the starting quarterback of the Miami Dolphins this season. His TD-to-interception ratio of 4-to-6 is underwhelming, but Tannehill’s quarterback rating of 75.8 is not all that bad for a rookie leading an offense. Most importantly, he has played well enough to lead the Dolphins to a 4-3 record.
