I'm not necessarily a Dolphins fan but I'm happy to see them doing well ...

makes the NFL more interesting. Thumbs-up to HC Adam Gase & staff, and the front office, for ending so many years of futility.

I'll also acknowledge (begrudgingly so) Jerry Jones for sticking with Jason Garrett, as well Mark Davis for standing by GM Reggie McKenzie. Patience has it rewards.

watching Matt Moore come in and lead the team to a big win over the Jets? He must have mixed feelings about it.

It's not like he was disciplined or benched for poor play.

due to the stages of their careers and time of the season, but I think about Tony Romo, who was sidelined early in the season due to his back injury. Then he couldn't get his job back because Dak Prescott came in and performed admirably, leading Dallas (along with Zeke's amazing running skills) to the Cowboys' best season in a long, long time. So Romo is out of a job.

The same scenario is unlikely for Tannehill but job security probably enters his mind. It's just human nature.

They look like the team to beat, again! They were definitely superior to the Broncos in Mile High today.

Boo!

Moore took advantage of a blitzing single coverage with no safety deep on the game winning drive. Tannehill is the future QB for the foreseeable future but Moore is an experienced veteran with some starting experience.

So glad they got him. He has changed the problems of the past.

Oh and it's fun to watch the Fins again. First winning season in 8 years!!!!!
