Magic of Monday Night returns to Miami in a big way
This was a terrific NFL game with oustanding plays made all over the field by a number of different individuals for each team, including Mark Sanchez [QB], Leon Washington [RB], Thomas Jones [RB], Braylon Edwards [WR], Chad Henne [QB], Ricky Williams [RB], Ronnie Brown [RB] and Ted Ginn [WR].
Dolphins run over rival Jets [video highlights included]
The running back combination of Brown and Ricky Williams was nearly unstoppable. Brown scored a pair of touchdowns while rushing for 74 yards. Williams had 138 scrimmage yards, the big game coming on a 59-yard reception.
———————————————
Of particular note was the outstanding play-calling of Dan Henning [Dolphins' Offensive Coordinator], who mixed conventional running formations with Wildcat sets and a variety of pass plays to keep the Jets’ pressure defense off balance for much of the game.
Once upon a time … there was no more SURE WIN in all of sports than a play on the Dolphins, at home on Monday Night Football, as a wagering underdog.
If Chad Henne & Co. can maintain this level of offensive production, this group of Dolphins might just have come of age last night.
