Trust, not rust: Ryan Tannehill fills Dolphins with confidence
DAVIE, Fla. -- There’s no such thing as a normal season opener for the Miami Dolphins in recent years.
In 2017, Hurricane Irma postponed their Week 1 contest, forcing them to play 16 consecutive games without a bye week. In their 2018 opener Sunday, they played the longest game in NFL history because of four hours of lightning delays.
But a 27-20 victory over the Titans in Ryan Tannehill’s first real action in 637 days made the chaos of Sunday even better.
“It was great to be back out here,” Tannehill said. “I wasn’t as sharp as I’d like to be. ... But I felt -- coming away from this long day, this grind of a game and get a win, it feels good.”
