During the incident, Tannehill became upset with defensive players during the team's Saturday walk-through before the Jets game.

According to a Miami Herald report, it was Dowling who intercepted Tannehill and returned it for a touchdown, before coaches asked the defense to stop.

Dowling was originally a 7th round draft pick from the Oakland Raiders out of Western Kentucky.
