59. . 9-5. . Miami Dolphins. 13. team

No Ryan Tannehill under center for the Dolphins, no problem.

Raise your hand if you thought backup quarterback Matt Moore would toss four touchdowns against one interception for 236 yards and a passer rating of 126.2.

Yeah, we didn’t think so.

Granted, this was against the hapless Jets. But still, the Dolphins have to be feeling pretty good about Moore’s efforts.

Miami won’t catch the division-leading Patriots but are still holding onto a wild-card spot. And wins like these help ensure the Dolphins keep the momentum down the stretch.
