ORLANDO, Fla. -- Running back Arian Foster had a 2-yard touchdown run in the Miami Dolphins' 17-6 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night.
Foster, who joined the Dolphins during the offseason and is coming off an Achilles injury, had his most extensive playing time with his new team in the third preseason game that was played at Orlando's Camping World Stadium.
Foster didn't get a lot more work, but he did enough in the seven touches he received to make the Dolphins' running back competition interesting. Ajayi carried seven times for 11 yards and caught two passes for 12 yards.
Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, coming off an impressive outing against the Cowboys, didn't put his team in many scoring positions, but he did move the ball effectively.
He completed 20 of 29 passes for 155 yards while leading the Dolphins to a score in one of two red zone opportunities.
Last week against the Cowboys, Tannehill led the offense to scores in two of three trips into the red zone.
In his only trip into the red zone in two full quarters, Ryan threw an interception in the middle of the end zone to Dolphins safety Reshad Jones after moving the offense to the Miami 8 in the second quarter.
The Falcons couldn't get much going and wide receiver Julio Jones left in the second quarter with an ankle injury.
The Dolphins' defense, led by a strong push from defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and the return of defensive end Cameron Wake, kept the Falcons out of the end zone.
Suh left the game with an ankle injury during the first half.
