Miami Dolphins now at 7 - 6

Yesterday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars was an interesting game to watch. The Dolphins got away with one, winning the game 14-10 at Jacksonville. The offense came out on fire and put together two 13 play, clock eating, scoring drives to score the 14 points in the first half and that was it. For the entire second half it was up to the defense to stop the Jags time and time again to sustain the lead. The defense came through, but it is worrisome that the same team can look so dominant on offense for a half and then be befuddled and have its output snuffed for the rest of the contest.

Ricky Williams ran for 108 yards, but fumbled 3 times, losing one of them. Chad Henne again played solid, finishing 21 of 29 for 220 yards, with one interception. He also had a one yard run for a touchdown on a bootleg. This win was earned by the defense and again, I like Cameron Wake coming off the edges to rush the quarterback in obvious passing situations. The man made several plays yesterday. Miami, at 7-6, is now solidly in the thick of the playoff race, but needs to win its last three games.
