Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler will make his 4th start of the season with Ryan Tannehill's injury but once Tannehill comes back, Osweiler wants to remain the starting quarterback.

“Every single week, in my eyes, is the Super Bowl. Every single week is the biggest game out there because this sport is so special and you never know when you're going to get another opportunity,” he said Wednesday, via the Miami Herald's Adam Beasley. “So when you do get the opportunity, shoot, I play every single play like it's my last. I put laser focus on every single play, and I'm playing as hard as I possibly can so hopefully I never have to go back to the bench.”

Osweiler has had a tough NFL career and has gotten a lot of heat, but the stats actually show that although Tannehill might have the better stats, the offense has actually been more productive with Osweiler.

The Dolphins were 3-2 with Tannehill as the starter with the offense averaging 19.8 points and 192.2 yards per air each game. With Osweiler the Dolphins are 1-2 but the team is averaging 25 points and 283 yards per game through the air.

“I think your mentality in this league is when you get your opportunity to play, you never give that guy his job back,” Osweiler said. “That has to be your mentality, and if that's not your mentality, then you're just in the wrong business. And that's nothing personal against anybody. But if you don't have that competitive spirit, this isn't the league for you.”

It's unclear when Tannehill will be back but when he gets back if Osweiler can continue to play well maybe the Dolphins will have a decision on their hands.
