The Miami Dolphins received huge days from rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill and wide receiver Brian Hartline who had a career and franchise record-breaking day but it was not enough to get the win against the Arizona Cardinals. It was a 46-yard field goal by Jay Feely in overtime that gave Arizona the win, 24-21, and had them advance to 4-0 on the season.
Hartline set the franchise record for receiving yards in a game which was previously set by Chris Chambers. Hartline hauled the ball in for 254 yards and a touchdown. He gained the yardage on 12 receptions.
For the Cardinals, Kevin Kolb had another solid performance.
Kolb completed 29-of-48 passes for 324 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. Kolb put together the impressive effort behind a shaky offensive line that allowed eight sacks.
The Cardinals still have some improvements to make but they are currently sitting at 4-0 with every chance of making it to 7-0. The team’s next three games are against the St. Louis Rams, Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings. Arizona is one of the biggest surprise teams of the season.
