Description: (Shotgun) R.Tannehill pass short left to J.Landry for 1 yard, TOUCHDOWN.

Offensive Formation: Shotgun Empty RB Slot

Defensive Formation: 4-4 Cover 0

Miami runs a similar play to play 15. Daniel Thomas runs the motion to the flat and Tannehill reads the defense well enough to see that the throw to Thomas would be too tough to complete, so he moves on to his next target. Landry is running a hook route and Tannehill makes the quick decision to hit Landry on the throw. Tannehill puts some good velocity behind this throw and fits it through a tight window to Landry.
