So, wait:

- Tannehill faces one of the best defenses in the league (as a rookie in his first start) and sucks.  This is no excuse, and he gets SOTG against HOU.

HOWEVER

- Defense holds OAK to 1 of 13 on 3rd down.  But OAK's offense is garbage, so this doesn't really count.

Huh?

Yes, when MIA plays NE, they will be unlikely to hold them to one 3rd-down conversion for the entire game.  But they did not play NE!

Grade the players on what they did, not what they would have done if it was a different opponent.  Tannehill wouldn't have had 3 interceptions against JAX; does that mean he shouldn't have been SOTG against HOU?
