Dolphins score touchdown off wild tip that shot ball 30 feet in the air

Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. This play by the Miami Dolphins typified this ideal perfectly. Ryan Tannehill had his entire field of view obscured by Connor Barwin, but threw the ball anyway -- it bounced off Barwin, at least 30 feet into the air and somehow managed to carry into the end zone where a waiting Jarvis Landry kept his eyes on the ball and made the play.
This is some sort of karmic balance for all those safeties.
