In a sunny afternoon in Miami, Florida on October 5, 2008; the Miami Dolphins faced the San Diego Chargers after a bye week and Ricky Williams admitting that he almost relapsed. It was a day to see if the Miami Dolphins are for real or do we have to wait for another season. The Miami Dolphins started this game with two games lost [New York Jets and the Arizona Cardinals] and one game won [New England Patriots]. The San Diego Chargers had two losses [the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos] and two wins [the New York Jets and Oakland Raiders]. The Miami Dolphins made history by defeating the New England Patriots and the San Diego Chargers back to back.
The game belonged to the Miami Dolphins almost from the start to the finish. The Miami Dolphins were able to prove that they were a team and played in an organized and disciplined fashion. Carpenter started the First Quarter with 47 yard field goal, with a drive of 9 plays and 44 yards to give the Miami Dolphins a slight advantage. The San Diego Chargers did not want to lose so Kaeding scored a tie with a 34 yard field goal with a drive of 14 plays and 61 yards. The second quarter belonged to the Miami Dolphins as Carpenter kicked the ball and Brown ran for the 5 yard touchdown to break the tie with a drive of 11 plays and 79 yards. The Quarterback for the Miami Dolphins Pennington threw a 17 yard pass to Caramillo [after another Carpenter kick] to score another touchdown for the Miami Dolphins. The first half was the Miami Dolphins 17-3 San Diego Chargers.
The second half started with the third quarter with the Miami Dolphins attempting to maintain dominance and the San Diego Chargers were trying to score a tie or a win. The San Diego Chargers received their window of opportunity when Rivers threw a 17 yard pass to Chambers after a Kaeling kick to score a touchdown wth a drive of 7 plays and 68 yards. The rest of the third and fourth quarter were characterized by fatigue setting in as the San Diego Chargers attempted to score and the Miami Dolphins tried to maintain the lead. It was not easy but the Miami Dolphins were able to use the clock to maintain their lead until the end.
Both teams played well but the Miami Dolphins have been able to prove that they are still a team that cannot be written off. Whether the Miami Dolphins will arrive at the playoffs or maybe the Super Bowl remains to be seen. My congratulations to the Miami Dolphins especially Pennington, Fasano, Brown, Williams, Carpenter, Caramillo, and Ginn.
I would like to remind people that Ginn should not be underestimated. In my article about Ted Ginn Jr, I have said my reasons as to why Ginn should not be underestimated. His participation in this very important game reinforces what has been discussed. My best wishes are extended to Ted Ginn Jr.
The San Diego Chargers did not have enough electricity and what little they had was wasted. The next game is against Houston.
