SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- A look at Miami Dolphins players who were “up” and those who were “down” in Sunday’s 30-14 loss to the San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium.

UP

Olivier Vernon, defensive end: He continued his solid second half of the season by recording 11 tackles and a half-sack that he shared with teammate Ndamukong Suh. Vernon now is tied with injured defensive end Cameron Wake with 7.0 sacks this season. Vernon will be an unrestricted free agent in 2016.

Reshad Jones, safety: Jones continued his Pro Bowl campaign with another interception, which was his fifth of the season. However, he fumbled the ball at the end and the Chargers recovered. But the pick counts.

DOWN

Dallas Thomas, offensive lineman: A starting guard, Thomas was moved to left tackle after a knee injury to Branden Albert. After that point, the struggles began. Thomas allowed two sacks of Ryan Tannehill and had a holding penalty. Playing Thomas out of position is not a good idea.

Ryan Tannehill, quarterback: Tannehill had another shaky performance on the road despite the fact his numbers were padded late in the fourth quarter. Tannehill threw for 216 yards and had a rushing touchdown. But he failed to make important plays to lift the offense at crucial times. The Dolphins fell behind 23-0 in the first half and never had a chance.
