DAVIE, Fla. - Everything seems to be coming together for Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill.With one game remaining in his third season under centre, his numbers in all significant categories are up. So is the confidence his coaches have in him.What matters most to Tannehill, however, is wins, not where he rates statistically. A home victory over the New York Jets on Sunday would give him nine on the season, a career best.But Miami will miss the playoffs for the sixth straight season and that weighs on him more than the fact that hes closing in on 4,000 yards passing.Honestly, I all I care about is winning, said Tannehill, who completed 35 of 47 passes for 396 yards, four touchdowns and one interception against the Vikings last week. I wish we could have won some more games and thats what were working toward in the future. Individual stats dont really matter if youre not getting the wins.Tannehill has thrown for a career-high 26 touchdowns and his 93.2 passer rating is nearly 12 points higher than what he finished with last season. His interceptions also are down from 17, and his completion percentage is up from 60.4 to 67.0, all indicators he is getting more comfortable in offensive co-ordinator Bill Lazors system.Lazor, who joined the Dolphins this season, took a close look at the game film from Sunday and saw things in Tannehills play that creates optimism for the future. It was more than just the types of throws.I saw Ryan stand in the pocket with two guys coming off blocks and he stood in there, made the throw while both of the guys were about to hit him, and they did hit him, Lazor said. I saw a play in the first quarter of the game, we ran a play-action and we tried to take a shot down the field, it was covered. He got some pressure late because it took a while, and he threw the ball away and avoided a sack. For me, as the coach, when I watched the tape, I watch those things that tell me, Hey, this guy is playing quarterback.Any controversy surrounding Tannehills role as the starter after the first three games feels so long ago. Coach Joe Philbin would not commit to him as the starter in London against the Oakland Raiders in the days leading up to the Week 4 game. Tannehill responded by completing 23 of 31 passes for 278 yards and two touchdowns.The former college receiver who made the switch to quarterback as a junior at Texas A&M feels he has made the right strides overall and is hoping to further prove that Sunday.I feel like Im better all-around than Ive been in the past. Completing passes, I think Ive grown through the season and gotten better each week, Tannehill said. I think Im just more comfortable in the offence. I think it took me some reps just to get comfortable with the system and the combinations were using and putting the ball in the right spot at the right time.I finally settled down, got comfortable and got the balls to the guys around me and theyre making plays.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Toronto Blue Jays Gear .

The first seven games of the nine-game Madison Square Garden stay produced one win and only four of a possible 14 points for the Rangers, who seemingly lost their way in front of goalie Henrik Lundqvist. Enter backup Cam Talbot, who got the rare start and kept all but one puck out. Carl Hagelin and Mats Zuccarello scored second-period goals, and Talbot made 24 saves in the Rangers 4-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Sunday night. Talbot allowed the first goal but was steady the rest of the way in relief of the struggling Lundqvist, who started the previous eight games and allowed at least three goals in the last seven outings. "We owed the fans this one," Talbot said. "Theyve been supporting us quite a bit lately, and we havent really produced for them." Benoit Pouliot tied it in the first period, Chris Kreider added a goal in the third, and Derick Brassard had two assists. Kreider made it 4-1 with 7:14 remaining. "Probably our best game all year when it comes to playing a full 60 minutes and everyone contributing," Hagelin said. "We definitely needed one of these just to feel good about ourselves." New York improved to 2-4-2 on the homestand that concludes Monday against Toronto. "There is not a whole lot of time to think about it," Talbot said. "Just go out there and try to carry this game into tomorrow." Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said he decided on his starting goalie for Monday, but didnt reveal his choice. "Hes a young kid thats learning the NHL game," Vigneault said of the 26-year-old rookie Talbot. "He came in here and did what we expect of our goalies and gave us a chance to win." Jason Pominville scored for Minnesota, and Niklas Backstrom stopped 32 shots. He made his second straight start in place of Josh Harding, who is out while adjustments are made to medication for multiple sclerosis. Minnesota, which has lost four of six, has netted only 13 goals in eight games. "When you put yourself in a hole, its hard to get out of it when goals have been tough to come by and overall youre just not feeling good about the way weve been playingg," forward Zach Parise said.dddddddddddd "Its just been a frustrating stretch for us. "Weve got to find a way to score. Thats the bottom line. Were not scoring. Were not giving ourselves a chance." New York took control during a dominant second period in which the Rangers outscored the Wild 2-0 and outshot them 17-5 to take a 3-1 lead and a 29-16 edge in shots. "Our compete level, especially in the second period, was probably our best four-line, six-defence pairing in a long time," Vigneault said. Hagelin gave the Rangers the lead when he took a pass from Derek Dorsett in the right circle and snapped a drive that beat Backstrom at 11:26 for his third goal in four games. The Rangers made it 3-1 with 1:25 left in the second when Brassard skated the length of the ice, curled behind the net, and flung a backhanded pass into the slot to the charging Zuccarello. New York fell behind 4:08 in on Pominvilles team-leading 17th goal. Mikael Granlund, who returned after a long absence, won a faceoff in the New York zone. The puck came to Pominville, who moved it back to Ryan Suter at the left point and then cut to the front. Suter sent him a quick pass for a deflection past Talbot. It marked the first time in 11 road games that Minnesota scored first. "We felt pretty good about the way we played in the first period," Parise said. "We got the first goal and that was it." New York cashed in on its second power play when Pouliot finished a crisp passing sequence started by Brad Richards. Brassard moved the puck to Ryan McDonagh, who sent a floating drive toward the net that Pouliot deflected in with 3:52 left. Pouliot, who has five goals, has scored in three of his last six games and has a point in four straight and five of six. NOTES: The Rangers improved to 3-16-1 after allowing the first goal.
