The Miami Dolphins are fighting for playoff position against the Arizona Cardinals, and took a punishing blow when Ryan Tannehill went down with a knee injury. Dolphins head coach Adam Gase believes Tannehill has torn his ACL, according to Jason La Canfora.

Tannehill was looking to pass, but the Cardinals’ Calais Campbell dove after Tannehill, and appeared to make contact with his knee.
He was able to walk off under his own power and was taken to the locker room. The Dolphins announced that he would not return to the game. He then came back onto the sideline out of his uniform, in tears:
Matt Moore came in to replace Tannehill. Moore has played sparingly for the Dolphins since he joined them in 2011, when he made 12 starts in 13 games played. He briefly made an appearance in Week 7, but threw no passes.
Moore was able to complete a comeback for the Dolphins, who moved to 8-5 on the season and in 6th place for a wild card spot.
