09/24: Dolphins Get 1st Win!
Posted by: Patrick
The drought is over. :) We topped the Titans by the score of 13-10. Daunte was 17 of 26 for 168 yards and 0 TDs and 0 INTs. He had a TD pass taken away from him when he hit Chris Chambers in front of he end zone in the third quarter. Chambers fought and fell around the goal line. The first signal was a touchdown, but after a quick conference, that call was changed and the ball was placed at/inside the 1. This led to a 5 yard Culpepper TD run. Ronnie Brown ran for 90 yards on 26 carries with his longest being a 27 yard dash. He also had 2 catches for 10 yards. While his numbers aren't huge, his consistent ability to get at least a few yards a carry and to turn negative plays into short or no gains was a difference maker in this game and the reason Miami had 10 minutes more time of possession. He ran in punishing fashion and the D laid into him, but he kept getting up. Great effort. Chambers took an end around 39 yards while Booker took one 18 yards. Wes Welker led all receivers with 5 catches and 59 yards receiving. Chambers had 4 catches for 39 yards, Booker had 2 for 36. Mare hit field goals from 39 and 40, while missing one from 30. Donnie Jones continued his strong performance by averaging 52.7 yards over 6 punts. Channing Crowder (2 assists) and Zach Thomas (3 assists) each had 6 tackles while Keith Traylor had 2 sacks. Thomas had an interception in the first quarter. Jason Taylor got to Kerry Collins, hitting him as he threw. The ball wobbled directly into Thomas' hands. It led to a field goal. Travis Daniels made a huge pick on a tipped ball in the 4th quarter to seal the deal. We head to Houston next week for a 1:00 PM ET game next Sunday.
