Ryan Tannehill’s third touchdown pass of the day extended the Dolphins’ lead over the Cardinals to 21-9 early in the third quarter.

The third was a play-action pass to Damien Williams, who snuck out of the backfield and into the flats. In the first half Tannehill threw touchdown passes to Dion Sims and Kenny Stills.

A 71-yard catch-and-run by Jarvis Landry sparked the third quarter scoring drive.

The Dolphins are 7-5 and are basically in a must-win situation to keep their playoff hopes alive. Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer has struggled all day and now has to try to bring his team back from a two-score deficit.
