The Miami Dolphins lost to the Houston Texans last night, dropping the game 24-17. Despite their second loss of the preseason, there were both positives and negatives to come out of the game.
The Miami Dolphins lost to the Houston Texans last night, dropping the second of three preseason games thus far in the 2013 exhibition series. As it is for every preseason game, the result really does not matter, but, instead, it's the positives and negatives that come out of the contest. Last night's game is no different, and there are several of both.
Positive: Ryan Tannehill, quarterback. Tannehill was sharp throughout the first half, playing until 1:49 remaining in the second quarter. He went 10-for-15 on the day, with two of the incomplete passes being drops, one from Lamar Miller and one from Brian Hartline. Tannehill finished the game with 141 yards and a touchdown, giving him a 119.0 passer rating. He currently has a 106.5 passer rating this preseason, making him 11th in the league among the starting quarterbacks, and he has not thrown an interception through three preseason games. Nothing is saying Tannehill will set the league record for most passing yards in a season, but he is playing well and is moving in the right direction for the season.
