LOS ANGELES -- For 54 dull and rainy minutes, the Los Angeles Rams defense appeared to be carrying Jared Goff to a victory in his NFL debut.With two dramatic drives, Ryan Tannehill and the Miami Dolphins washed it all away.DeVante Parker caught a 9-yard touchdown pass with 36 seconds to play, and the surging Dolphins rallied for two late scores to spoil Goffs big day with a 14-10 victory Sunday.Tannehill passed for 172 yards in the fifth straight victory for the Dolphins (6-4), who were dominated by the Rams defense until their final chances for redemption. Miami left the Coliseum crowd in disbelief and barely kept alive its longest winning streak since 2008.I dont even know (how the comeback happened), Dolphins coach Adam Gase said. Just nothing was going right for us. We were terrible on offense.After Jarvis Landry caught a 10-yard TD pass with 4:02 to play, the Dolphins got the ball right back and drove downfield for Parkers diving TD reception in the corner. Miami gained 152 of its 240 total yards on the final two drives, leaving the Los Angeles defense heartbroken and furious.We played pretty much great the whole day, Rams defensive end Robert Quinn said. We kept fighting, but those last 6 minutes, I think its going to haunt us.Todd Gurley scored on a 24-yard run in the first quarter for Los Angeles (4-6), but neither team managed much offense until Miamis late surge.GOFFS TURNUntil the late swerve, the game was a decent coming-out party for the NFLs No. 1 draft pick.Goff went 17 of 31 for 134 yards after finally getting his chance in the 10th game of the season. But the Rams did little between Miamis two touchdowns, and when Los Angeles got the ball back at its 41 with 29 seconds left, Goff moved the team only 12 yards before throwing an incompletion in the end zone as time expired.Felt good, Goff said. Were obviously disappointed with the result there at the end and how things turned out, and how we felt through the whole game and how in control we were. At the end, 6 minutes left, we just kind of couldnt put it away.Nearly seven months after the Rams traded up to draft Goff, their prized rookie finally got his first start and was introduced to raucous cheers on a rare rainy day in downtown LA, but he made few memorable plays in a conservative game plan.The rookie got his first NFL completion on a short pass to fellow rookie Tyler Higbee, but neither team made much headway in the first three quarters. Goff showed mobility in the pocket and made a handful of key third-down throws to keep the Rams moving.I was disappointed in the outcome of the game, but I think you could see the light, Los Angeles coach Jeff Fisher said. There was a light there for (Goff), so well continue to allow him to get ready, continue to progress.BEATING THEMSELVESFisher called it one of the most disappointing losses of his long career.To play 3 1/2 quarters of good football and then to let things slip away in the last 6 minutes was really disappointing, Fisher said.Los Angeles took its first double-digit lead at home this season on a 46-yard field goal by Greg Zuerlein in the third quarter. But after Zuerlein missed a 48-yard attempt off the upright with 6:40 to play, the Dolphins finally mounted a scoring drive capped when Landry caught a short pass and his teammates pushed the pile 4 yards into the end zone.Its all about will, Landry said. I couldnt get in there alone. I closed my eyes and went for the ride.AWAY FROM HOMEThe Dolphins spent the week in California after beating San Diego last weekend, but their offense was mostly awful until Tannehill got it moving in the final minutes. Parker had eight catches for 79 yards, and Jay Ajayi rushed for 77 yards.INJURY REPORTDolphins: OG Laremy Tunsil started at left tackle in place of Branden Albert, but injured his shoulder during the first half. Backup RT Sam Young moved over to the left side. Albert had surgery on a torn ligament in his wrist, but wouldnt rule out playing next week.Rams: Quinn started five days after spending the night in a hospital with an apparent case of dehydration. ... C Tim Barnes also started after weeklong concerns about his foot. ...

RENTON, Wash. -- While the kids on the grass berm jockeyed for autograph position and screamed to get the attention of Russell Wilson, Richard Sherman and Bobby Wagner, George Fant stood a few feet away being tutored by assistant offensive line coach Pat Ruel.For the next few minutes, even with the commotion nearby, Fant pummeled the padded base holding up the scoreboard next to the Seattle Seahawks practice field as he worked on hand placement and the initial strike needed to play offensive line in the NFL.Another day. Another lesson on playing offensive line for Fant -- an undrafted rookie project and former basketball player.Im the type of person I want to go as hard as I can and learn as much as I can as fast as I can, Fant said. Thats the process for that. The learning part is not done. Im learning something new every day. Thats my thing coming in every day. If something bad happens, it happens. I keep trying to learn something else, learn something thats going to fix what happened. Thats my whole thing. Fix it. Not dwell on it, fix it.Fants football education continues Thursday night when the Seahawks play the Minnesota Vikings in their second preseason game. Fant is beyond raw when it comes to his football experience.Consider that Fant is the 13th-leading scorer all-time on the basketball court at Western Kentucky. That his last real organized football came in the eighth grade, despite playing sparingly on special teams for WKU. That basic skills like getting into the proper stance, the proper hand placement, the proper footwork, while second nature to his teammates, are almost completely new for Fant.Its almost like you would do with young kids just kind of start them from the very beginning, offensive line coach Tom Cable said. Which is to get them in the right stance, tell them what they should see with their eyes, what their hands are for, how they fit into the scheme and then you keep working fundamentally to keep theirr body down and teach them to play with the speed and violence you need to play this game.ddddddddddddFant needed some serious convincing to take on football. With an extra year of eligibility at Western Kentucky, Fant took on the challenge. He was mostly limited to special teams and when he participated in Western Kentuckys pro day in the spring, he was listed as a potential offensive lineman, defensive lineman or tight end.Seattle, with its history of taking on projects, saw Fants potential at offensive tackle.Hes a big body, long-armed guy, big body, athletic, Cable said. Truthfully, hes probably more athletic than the typical tackle in this league. Thats a positive. But so much to learn. Hes on it, working his tail off and I like where hes at so far.Fant got his first true game action last Saturday in Seattles preseason opener against Kansas City. He was self-admittedly jittery at the start and made minor mistakes that come with that anxiousness. It was understandable and he believes completely correctable. Fant was in for 44 plays, second-most of any offensive lineman. Hes likely to get another significant chunk of playing time against the Vikings as Seattle continues to assess Fants future potential. He seems a prime candidate to land on a practice squad and develop.That old saying, `Dot your `Is and make sure you do everything from A-to-Z. Well, were at A to B, Cable said. Thats where we are at right now and thats where we should be. There is nothing wrong with that. Hes on track that way.Game notes Seattle coach Pete Carroll said a number of players will sit out Thursday, including RBs C.J. Prosise and Thomas Rawls, SS Kam Chancellor and TE Jimmy Graham. Carroll also said its unlikely RT JMarcus Webb will play.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
