Week 13 - Bills at Dolphins

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2005

Never in my wildest dreams did I think Miami was coming back to win this game. Yet when the 4th quarter ended and the dust settled, the Dolphins defied the odds and engineered their biggest comeback since 1974. WOW! The team showed lots of heart and character in the 4th quarter and also showed that they are clearly not ready to quit on this campaign as of yet. Credit goes to Nick Saban for keeping his squad in the game. Credit also goes to Chris Chambers as well. I was about ready to rip him a new one in this recap because he dropped 7 passes, but he also caught the winning pass and put together the best day offensively of any receiver in Dolphins History. Sage Rosenfels has to start the rest of this season based on his performance. I really think this team is going to finish strong building on the confidence they now have as a team after this huge win. The impossible is still mathematically possible, the dolphins can still win this division. After watching the outcome of this game the old adage is true: Anything can happen in the NFL!

FINAL SCORE:     DOLPHINS 24 BILLS 23

CHEERS TO:    Chambers for setting Dolphin catching and receiving records
JEERS TO:        Chambers for dropping 7 passes. Just think of how many more yards he would have had!!!!!!!
