08/25: Dolphins Fall to Panthers, 19-10
Posted by: Patrick
Daunte looked good, going 14 for 19 with 140 yards passing and no picks along with 11 rushing yards on 2 attempts. However, he failed to lead the Dolphins to a touch down. The closest they got was 4th and goal at the 1, where Ronnie Brown was stuffed. They did manage 1 field goal, though. A 23 yarder from Mare. Mare missed from 55 in the 4th quarter. Our 1 and only TD didn't come until the third quarter as Joey Harrington on an 11 play, 76 yard scoring drive which ended in a 6 yard TD pass to Chris Chambers, who led all receivers with 67 yards on 7 catches. Harrington was 7 for 14 with 66 yards. Cleo Lemon was 7 of 10 for 46 yards. Ronnie Brown attempted and completed a 22 yard pass of his own, as well. Lemon scrambled for 13 yards on 2 carries (all of those 13 came in a single carry). 3 games in, the Dolphins have yet to throw a pick. Ronnie Brown was held to just 27 yards on 13 carries while Travis Minor made 23 on 4. McMichael (35 yards), Booker (34 yards) and Welker (21 yards) each had 3 catches. We managed to fumble 4 times (Cleo fumbled twice, Matt Sinclair and Welker had the others), but only lost 1 fumble thanks to recoveries by Cleo, Wade Smith and Marcus Vick. Welker's fumble was lost and resulted in a Carolina field goal. Will Allen and Matt Roth led the team with 4 tackles each while Roth, Jason Taylor and Ben Ishola had 1 sack apiece. Although Ishola and Fred Evans each forced a fumble, neither was recovered by Miami. The Dolphins defense looked great, allowing just 4 field goals (on drives of 9, 47, 33 and 20 yards). The lone Carolina touchdown was on a 98 yard kickoff return by DeAngelo Williams.
