The Miami Dolphins needed a burst on Sunday in their opener and they got one from Jarvis Landry

The Miami Dolphins are opening up their 2015 NFL regular season on Sunday as they take on the Washington Redskins, and by all accounts in this one, they’ve been getting more from the Redskins than some expected. They needed a spark in the second half and they got one from Jarvis Landry.

Now, when you hear something like that, Ryan Tannehill fantasy owners might perk up just a little bit. Well, unfortunately, that was not the case, folks. No, Landry didn’t do the damage in the receiving game, he did it on special teams.

With the game all tied up at 10 in the fourth quarter, Landry returned this punt 69 yards to the house for the go-ahead touchdown.


With the game all tied at 10 against the Redskins, that was definitely the spark that they needed. It wouldn’t be a great way to start the season by dropping a game to the Redskins, so this helps that cause mightily.

Now, we just have to see if the Dolphins can capitalize on the momentum and hold on for this one the rest of the way.
