Wallace: "I should have had 20 more touchdowns"

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace believes that he should have had "20 more touchdowns" if he and quarterback Ryan Tannehill had connected on more long passes.

The 27-year-old struggled early in the campaign to get on the same page as Tannehill following his move from the Pittsburgh Steelers in the off-season, but still managed to record five touchdowns including four in his last six matches.

Wallace told the Miami Herald: "Definitely have got to get the deep ball going. That's the difference between winning and losing a couple games.

"I should have had 15 or 20 more touchdowns. And that's being modest. If you press me, you have no shot to cover me. Once I get you to stop your feet, it's over."

Wallace has 37 receiving touchdowns since arriving in the NFL in the 2009 season.
