Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley stepped up and led his team to a 20-3 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, keeping the Dolphins’ playoff hopes alive. With starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa out with a hip injury, Huntley performed well in his fourth start of the season, completing 22 of 26 passes for 225 yards.
Huntley also showed his ability to run for touchdowns, scoring one early in the third quarter and connecting with tight end Jonnu Smith on another touchdown late in the game. The Dolphins’ defense held strong, forcing two turnovers by Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson.
The win is crucial for the Dolphins, who need to win next week against the New York Jets and hope the Denver Broncos lose at home to Kansas City to secure a postseason berth. With Huntley showing he can get the job done if necessary, his future as the team’s starter may be more secure than expected.
