37-0.
This was easily the biggest win of the Joe Philbin/Ryan Tannehill era, and it wasn't even close.
This was a playoff performance from the Miami Dolphins. This was a national media attention grabbing performance.
From start to finish, the home team dominated.
Ryan Tannehill had a career day- something we're getting used to typing in South Florida.
He finished 24-34, for 288 yards and three touchdowns- each more impressive than the last.
His first went to Charles Clay, a beautiful touch pass behind three defenders in the
Next came a pump fake with a collapsing pocket, followed by a roll out pass on the run to a streaking Rishard Matthews.
The final came with a little help from Jarvis Landry, as the rookie receiver tip toed towards the endzone with the grace of a seasoned veteran.
All of that bookended a dominating defensive performance, headlined by not one, not two, but three interceptions- Two from Grimes and one from Reshad Jones.
Things got so out of hand Philip Rivers was pulled by the end of the third quarter.
The defensive line was overwhelming today, as I thought they might be.
Can Wake had a sack. Earl Mitchell had a sack. The SD run game? Non existent. In fact, the defense was so dominant that the Chargers were rarely close enough to even sniff midfield for most of the game.
This is Miami's 4th win in 5 games, and third in a row. They now sit at 5-3 with a tough trip to Detroit looming.
More to come.
