Miami Dolphins 31, New York Jets 27
For three quarters this was a defensive battle just like I thought it would be as the Jets were leading 13-10 going into the 4th quarter. But then all hell broke loose as both teams starting going right down the field and scoring almost every time they had the ball. The Jets scored a TD to take a 27-24 lead with only 5:12 left in the game. Chad Henne was outstanding in his 2nd NFL start as he completed 20 of 26 passes for 241 yards with 2 TD passes. Ronnie Brown even threw two passes as the Wildcat Formation QB and he completed one of them for 21 yards. Ronnie Brown was very busy in this game as he carried the ball 21 times for 74 yards (3.5 ypc) with 2 TD runs. He also caught 3 passes for 14 yards (4.7 avg) last night. Ricky Williams also had a outstanding game in which he also played some QB in the Wild Cat. He carried the ball 11 times for 68 yards (6.2 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 70 yards (23.3 avg). Ted Ginn Jr. finally showed up in this game as he caught 2 passes for 57 yards (28.5 avg) with a TD grab. TE Anthony Fasano also had a decent game catching 4 passes for 38 yards (9.5 avg) with a TD grab. The Dolphins finished up with 413 total yards in this game (151 rushing, 262 passing) and they held onto the football for 33:35!
Safeties Gibril Wilson (12 tackles) and Yeremiah Bell (6 tackles) led the way on the Fins’ defensively. The Jets finished up with 309 total yards on offense (138 rushing, 171 passing). The Dolphins are now 2-3 on the season just one game behind the Patriots and Jets in the AFC East.
