The abuse of has been nonstop the past few years in South
Florida. He has been lit up on talk shows, seared by
sports columnists. One talk-show host even calls him
"Tanne-kill" since he was killing the ' chances of
winning. Now even the staunchest critics have to start
giving Tannehill credit after what transpired the past
two weeks on the West Coast. After making some of the
best throws of his career to help beat San Diego last
week, he drove the Dolphins 75 yards in 1:35 to the
winning score with 40 seconds left Sunday, on a 9-yard pa
s to to beat the 14-10. It was a pre sure drive executed
perfectly by a player who had three of his starting
offensive lineman on the sidelines -- and it came on a
rare rainy day in Southern California. That drive came
after he led the Dolphins 77 yards to another touchdown
pa s to to cut the lead to three at 10-7 on a day when
the offense was e sentially

a punt-fest. When it was time to do it, Tannehill did
it. I am not going to sit here and say Tannehill was good
Sunday, but when it mattered he was that and a lot more.
He has been playing mistake-free football in the
Dolphins' five-game winning streak that has them at 6-4
and clearly in the AFC playoff picture. In those five
games, he has five touchdown pa ses and one interception,
that coming against the Rams on Sunday. The yardage
totals in those five games are far from gaudy, with 252
against the in Week 6 being the best of the five games,
but aided by the much-improved running game he is playing
much more confidently than at any time in his career.
There was talk this summer that Tannehill might not be
the long-term answer in Miami. But you won't hear that
talk now. Tannehill signed a four-year extension last
year, one that includes a base salary of $18 million next
season. That's steep, but what are the options if he
walks? Now even that talk seems crazy. New coach Adam
Gase, who is considered a quarterback whisperer of sorts,
has believed in Tannehill from the start. When I talked
with Gase this spring in his office, he was adamant that
Tannehill could have succe s as a long-term starter. He
was quick to note how Tannehill has now been in three
different systems in his first four five seasons, which
can slow a quarterback's clock. Gase also tweaked a few
mechanical things, has given Tannehill more freedom at
the line of scrimmage and truly believes in what he's
doing. He also said Tannehill lives the position, which
is perfect for Gase and his style of coaching. The
Dolphins next play host to the this week, a game they
should win, and then comes a tough five-game stretch to
close it out. It's at Baltimore, home against Arizona, at
the , at Buffalo and home against the . If they are to
make the playoffs, they will have to fare

division rivals. Quarterbacks are defined by how they
close out games to win them, and also how they do in
December in a playoff chase. We saw Tannehill get it done
at crunch time
jeresy/timothe-luwawu-cabarrot-jersey">Timothe Luwawu-
Cabarrot Jersey against the Rams. Now comes the
tough part -- doing it in late November and December with
something on the line. Tannehill has never played on a
winning team with the Dolphins. If it's to happen this
season, he will have to be a big part of it. The final
six minutes against the Rams showed us that it's more
than po sible -- and "Tanne-kill" might be a nickname
that needs to go bye-bye.More musings from around the :
Are the , and frauds? If the playoffs started today, the
Detroit Lions would win the NFC North and the New York
Giants and Kansas City Chiefs would be in as wild-card
teams. But this is a serious question: Are any of these
teams any good? Or -- dare I say it -- are they frauds?
The Giants and Lions won this weekend, barely, against
bad teams at home, but the Chiefs weren't as fortunate.
They lost at Arrowhead to the , after they needed a road
rally to beat a bad Carolina team the week before and
gave up 449 yards and 25 first downs to the two weeks
ago. So again I ask the question: Are any of them any
good? Let's start with the Lions. They are 6-4 and tied
with Minnesota in the NFC North for first place, but they
beat the so they are technically at the top. The two
teams play each other in Detroit on Thanksgiving Day, and
the Lions better hope they play better than they did
Sunday against the Jaguars. They hardly looked like a
playoff team. Jacksonville, now 2-8, led late and the
Lions got a punt return as part of their scoring. For
much of the game, they looked like the second-best team
on the field. The Lions have won and lost a lot of close
games -- trailing in the fourth quarter in all 10 games -
- so how good they are is still up in the air. The
Giants have won five straight games, winning a close one
against the on Sunday, but do we think they are playoff
good? They are getting there, but struggling at home with
the Bears is not a good look. Even so, at 7-3 with a game
at Cleveland this week, they are probably going to get
there. The Chiefs lost for the first time since Oct. 2,
but the past three weeks just haven't looked crisp. That
doesn't mean they can't get it going, but losing at home
to Tampa Bay is not a good look. The Bucs had 442 yards
of offense, which means the Chiefs have given up an
average of 445.5 yards in their past two home games. They
have a tough game this week with Denver. Are these three
frauds or legitimate contenders? On Sunday, the three of
them looked more like the first one. These kickers need
a kick in the you-know-what What the heck is going on
with the nets-jeresy/caris-levert-jersey">Caris LeVert Jersey
kickers in this league? They mi sed 11 extra points and
several field goals this week. That's on the heels of a
decade of some of the best kicking in the history of the
league. Moving the extra point back to the 15-yard line
has impacted the kickers in a lot of ways. I think it has
added more pre sure to all their kicks. It's a mental
thing more than a physical thing. These kickers need to
get it going. Is this it for Marvin Lewis in Cincy? The
writing is on the wall in Cincinnati for coach Marvin
Lewis. The are 3-6-1 after losing to the on Sunday. They
have been to the playoffs five straight years, but
haven't won a playoff game under Lewis. If they fail to
make it this season you have to think he's gone. It won't
help that tore a hamstring and could be gone for the rest
of the season.Someone free , please I thought the Rams
restricted Jared Goff in his NFL start. They didn't let
him drive the ball down the field. They wait too long to
play him, and then restrain him when they do. That's not
going to win in the long run. Let him loose.They're
looking super in Seattle again The are starting to look
like the Seahawks we expected to see this season. They
have won consecutive games to get to 7-2-1 and they have
a firm lead in the NFC West. is playing well, the defense
is jeresy/taurean-prince-jersey">Taurean Prince Jersey
getting back to being that defense and the offensive line
is playing better. They are a Super Bowl-looking team
once again.
