Reversal of fortune for Tannehill in loss as he’s hit nine times

- By Chris Perkins Staff writer

BALTIMORE — Miami Dolphins quarterbac­k Ryan Tannehill wasn’t good in Sunday’s 38-6 road loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Tannehill, who was superb during the team’s six-game winning streak with nine touchdowns and one intercepti­on, came crashing back to earth with three intercepti­ons and one touchdown against the Ravens.

Tannehill’s 40 pass attempts were his second-most this season after the 45 he had in the 31-24 loss at New England, a game in which the Dolphins trailed 31-3 in the third quarter, their largest deficit of the year. Miami trailed Baltimore, 24-0, at halftime for their second-largest deficit of the season.

One of Tannehill’s intercepti­ons was a possible touchdown to wide receiver DeVante Parker but it resulted in an intercepti­on when cornerback Lardarius Webb snatched the ball from Parker in the end zone. It was the second time this season that Parker has had a reception taken away for an intercepti­on. On another intercepti­on Tannehill was under pressure and threw behind wide receiver Jarvis Landry. The pass was tipped and then picked off. The other intercepti­on was just a poor throw that was intended for Kenny Stills.

“It was something different on every one,” Tannehill said of his three intercepti­ons.

Tannehill was only sacked twice but he absorbed nine quarterbac­k hits.
