DAVIE Miami Dolphins Jerseys Stitched , Fla. (AP) — Ryan Tannehill‘s pass traveled 2 yards before landing in the hands of a young receiver, who dropped it.Tannehill laughed. He doesn’t mind when a throw to his 2-year-old son, Steel, falls incomplete.Their easygoing post-practice game of catch contrasted with what preceded it Monday — two hours of spirited work by the Miami Dolphins.With players in full pads for the first time in training camp, there was a fight or two, plenty of trash-talking and one high-stakes play at the end of a passing drill, with the losing unit required to do pushups.“It’s a competitive sport,” Tannehill said. “I like what I see from our guys as far as the fire.”More Miami Dolphins newsRally led by FitzMagic comes up short for DolphinsDolphins can’t hang with explosive Cowboys in QB Josh Rosen’s 1st start with MiamiDolphins QB Josh Rosen will reportedly start in place of Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. CowboysDolphins’ excruciating start to season continuesDolphins can’t contain Patriots as Antonio Brown scores in debutIncreasing intensity is understandable with the clock ticking toward another season, and it’s a little louder now for Tannehill because he turned 30 Friday.After missing the end of the 2016 season and all 16 games last year due to knee injuries, he says he’s fully recovered and healthy. Five days into camp, he’s pleasantly surprised his arm isn’t even sore.“I feel great,” Tannehill said. “I was telling somebody the other day, I feel like I’m 25. Thirty just sounds old.”Thirty is a little old to still be without a playoff appearance, as Tannehill is. But given the way such peers as Tom Brady and Peyton Manning aged so gracefully in recent years Super Bowl Isaiah Prince Jersey , Tannehill might have a decade or so left to play.“He seems to keep getting better,” coach Adam Gase said. “I guess I look at 30 now, and for quarterbacks it doesn’t seem — how many guys do we have that are 39 or 40 and MVPs of the league?”The best hope for the Dolphins’ future would be that Tannehill becomes a late-bloomer. He has been a starter since his first training camp in 2012, and his best season came two years ago, when he was leading Miami toward a wild-card berth until sidelined by his first knee injury.He hasn’t played since, and these days he’s not thinking about the arc of his career.“I’m just trying to get better,” he said. “I feel like I have a lot of good football left in front of me, and just want to be the best I can this year.”It helps that the offensive line could be the best Tannehill has played behind, easing a perennial problem with pass protection.And while favorite receiver Jarvis Landry departed last offseason, Tannehill is delighted about several newcomers, led by veteran running back Frank Gore.“It really surprises me how hard he hits the hole,” Tannehill said. “That has probably been the most fun thing for me — just seeing him put his foot on the ground and go downhill and find a way to get through a crease where it looks like a human being can’t fit.”Danny Amendola and Albert Wilson give Tannehill two experienced new targets at receiver, and he has been impressed with rookie tight end Mike Gesicki, a second-round draft pick from Penn State.“He has incredible range Football Isaiah Prince Jersey ,” Tannehill said. “If you put a ball anywhere near him, he has the ability to either jump and get it or reach out and get it. One way or the other, he’s going to get his hands on it.”And then there’s Steel Tannehill, who’s only 3 feet tall and a little inexperienced, and Dad hasn’t figured out yet whether he should be a receiver or quarterback. But he’s the camp newcomer who gets Tannehill gushing the most.“I don’t know what position he is,” Tannehill said with a grin. “Right now he’s the fun assistant.” INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Andrew Luck was at his best when it mattered most for the Indianapolis Colts.Including some fancy footwork at a big moment.After throwing three TD passes, Luck calmly stepped through Miami's pass rush and found Chester Rogers for a 34-yard gain that helped set up Adam Vinatieri's 32-yard field goal as time expired in the Colts' improbable 27-24 victory over the Dolphins on Sunday. "There's a moment there where you're thinking ‘Don't go down, stay up, give our guys a chance,'" Luck said. "I'm glad it worked out."For most of Indianapolis' fifth straight win, Luck & Co. struggled.He was picked off twice in a 17-second span at the end of the first half. The Colts also lost a fumble. They had a punt partially blocked and Vinatieri came up well short on a makeable field goal — though it appeared the Dolphins (5-6) might have deflected the kick.Then, with the Colts trailing 24-14 early in the fourth, Luck found a way to rally his teammates.He overcame two offensive penalties to set up Vinatieri's 46-yard field goal with 8:26 left. He fired a perfect 12-yard strike to Eric Ebron, tying it at 24 with 4:25 remaining. And after the Colts' defense forced a second straight three-and-out Isaiah Prince Jersey nfl draft , Luck took over on his own 42 and kept his balance just long enough on third-and-9 to connect with Rogers."I didn't think that," coach Frank Reich said when asked if he thought Luck might fall down. "I saw him stepping up and I'm so accustomed to him finding a way to make a play. I wasn't anticipating him finding someone for a 30- or 40-yard gain, but what a play."Four plays later, Vinatieri trotted onto the field and made the 28th game-winning kick of his career.The resurgent Luck finished 30 of 37 for 343 yards. He has thrown at least three TD passes in eight consecutive games, tying Peyton Manning for the second-longest streak in NFL history.Luck also had his first career reception , a 4-yard catch for a fourth-down conversion that eventually led to a 1-yard TD pass to Jack Doyle late in the first half.It's the longest win streak for Indianapolis (6-5) since it also won five in a row in the first half of the 2014 season.The Dolphins, meanwhile, have lost 10 of their last 11 road games — perhaps none more frustrating than this game.Ryan Tannehill returned after missing five games with a shoulder injury and played well from the start.His 33-yard TD pass to Kenyan Drake on the opening possession ended the team's nine-quarter streak without a touchdown and his 74-yard TD pass to Leonte Carroo tied it at 14 late in the first half. Jason Sanders kicked a 29-yard field goal early in the third quarter and Drake's nifty 14-yard run with 13:36 remaining gave the Dolphins a 24-14 lead.With Luck working his magic, it didn't last. He led the Colts on three scoring drives in the final 8 1/2 minutes."It hurts," Tannehill said. "We were in a good position to win and to not finish it hurts."INJURY REPORTDolphins: Receiver Danny Amendola (right knee) and center Travis Swanson (ankle) both left in the first quarter.Colts: Linebacker Darius Leonard injured his knee on the first play of the game but returned on the next defensive series. Running back Marlon Mack entered the concussion protocol in the fourth quarter.STAT PACKDolphins: Frank Gore ran 14 times for 67 yards against his former team. … Drake caught five passes for 64 yards and the TD. … Xavien Howard picked off Luck twice. … The Dolphins squandered their last chance when Howard was called for a personal foul following the Colts' last touchdown and Senorise Perry drew a holding call on the ensuing return to pin Miami at its own 6-yard line.Colts: Luck's streak of consecutive dropbacks without a sack ended at 239. … Ebron has 11 TDs this season — matching his career total coming into this season. … T.Y. Hilton had seven catches for 125 yards. … Mack ran 15 times for 85 yards.UP NEXTDolphins: Host Buffalo in a division matchup next Sunday.Colts: Visit Jacksonville next Sunday, seeking a series sweep of last year's AFC runner-up.
