Dolphins 38, Patriots 13



In my many years as a die-hard Dolphin fan, I've witnessed Miami take down the Pats at home like wild dogs on a steak.

But to take the rivals of all rivals on their home field?

Just a reminder that nobody puts Florida in a preconceived corner, sports-wise or political.

What a way to end a winning streak. Miami went into Foxborough, where the Patriots hadn't lost since falling to the Jets there in 2006, and handed New England a Gillette Stadium-worst 25-point beat- down to end an NFL-record 21-game regular season run of victories on Sunday. The Dolphins, who have already matched their 2007 win total, ran it right at the Pats to the tune of 216 ground yards and four rushing touchdowns for Ronnie Brown. In giving head coach Tony Sparano and quarterback Chad Pennington their first wins with Miami, the Dolphins also single-handedly blew up suicide pools from coast to coast.


Go. Fish.
