Miami Dolphins 22, New England Patriots 21
This was a game the Dolphins had to have and they got it due to Chad Henne and Dan Carpenter. Henne led the Fins on a 4th quarter drive late in the game that set up Dan Carpenter for the game winning 41-yard field goal with 1:02 left in the game. The Dolphins finally took the shackles off QB Chad Henne and he responded by completing 29 of 52 passes for 335 yards with 2 TD passes and 1 INT. Ricky Williams pitched in with 75 yards rushing on 18 carries (4.2 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 6 yards (3.0 avg). WR Davone Bess had a true breakout game yesterday with 10 catches for 117 yards (11.7 avg) with a TD grab. TE Anthony Fasano pitched in with 5 grabs for 67 yards (13.4 avg). WRs Greg Camarillo (4 rec, 61 yards) and Brian Hartline (4 rec, 41 yards, TD) also helped out in the passing game yesterday. The Dolphins finished up with 416 total yards in this game (88 rushing, 328 passing).
LB Akin Ayodele (6 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss), Yeremiah Bell (6 tackles) and Gibril Wilson (6 tackles) led a sub par effort by the defense. The Patriots finished up with 448 total yards of offense in this game (96 rushing, 352 passing). The Dolphins are now tied with the Jets at 6-6, just 1 game behind the Patriots in the AFC East.
