Ravens looking to recapture Super formBy ALAIN POUPART
@apoupartFins
The Baltimore Ravens come to Sun Life
Stadium this afternoon as the defending
Super Bowl champions, but a lot of things
have changed for them since the beat the
San Francisco 49ers at the Superdome last
February.
The Ravens come to South Florida with a
2-2 record after dropping a 23-20 decision
against the Buffalo Bills last Sunday at Ralph
Wilson Stadium.
It has been, to put it mildly, a struggle so
far for the Ravens, who endured significantpersonnel losses after winning the second
Super Bowl title in franchise history.
The offense still revolves around quarter-
back Joe Flacco, the Super Bowl MVP, but
hes had to work without his two more reli-
able receivers from last year Anquan
Boldin and Dennis Pitta.
Boldin was traded to the 49ers in the off-
season after the Ravens determined they
could not fit him under their salary cap, while
Pitta was put on injured reserve with a desig-
nation to return after sustaining a hip injuryin practice.
Wide receiver Torrey Smith has emerged
as Flaccos go-to receiver in 2013, but
nobody else has really stepped up and
dropped passes have been a problem.
It also hasnt helped that the running
game has been ineffective in the early going.
Ray Rice, who has been slowed by a hip
injury, is averaging a paltry 3 yards per rush-
ing attempt and thats the best figure on
the team.
The offensive line has four of the startersback from last years Super Bowl team, with
the one exception being Gino Gradkowski
replacing the retired Matt Birk.
On the other side of the ball, the Ravens
had to replace the two greatest defensive
players in franchise history Ray Lewis, who
retired, and Ed Reed, who was allowed to
leave via free agency and signed with
Houston.
There still remains marquee talent on
defense, starting with nose tackle Haloti
Ngata and pass rusher Terrell Suggs. Suggs
is off to a tremendous start this season, with
a sack in each of Baltimores first four games.
That Ravens looked awfully bad in the
NFL opener when the Denver Broncos put
49 points on Baltimore, but weve come to
find out there arent many teams around
able to slow down Peyton Manning and
company.
Baltimore rebounded on defense in victo-
ries against Cleveland and Houston, and theRavens have been solid against the run most
of the season.
The pass defense also has come around
since that forgettable opener at Denver.
Still, it has not been a great start for the
Ravens. Then again, the Ravens proved last
year they could get hot once they got to the
playoffs when they won the Super Bowl after
losing four of their last five in the regular sea-
son to finish with a 10-6 record.
Whats also good news for the Ravens is
that their 2-2 record has them tied for first in
the AFC North with Cleveland and
Cincinnati, with Pittsburgh winless after four
games.
The question for the Ravens is whether
they can recapture their championship form
and, directly relating to the Dolphins,
whether well see that kind of performance
this afternoon.
DOLPHINS VS. RAVENS 15
Things havent gone smoothly for Super Bowl
MVP Joe Flacco and the Baltimore offense this
season, but Terrell Suggs (55) is off to a great
start on defense.

JOE FLACCO
Pos.: Quarterback
Ht: 6-6Wt: 245
NFL Exp: 6th year
How Acquired:
Draft, 2008, 1st round
(18th overall)
Of Note: Flacco has
become the leader of
this franchise and iscoming off a Super
Bowl XLVII victory,
after which he was
named the games
Most Valuable Player.
RAY RICE
Pos.: Running back
Ht: 5-8Wt: 212
NFL Exp: 6th year
How Acquired:
Draft, 2008, 2nd
round
Of Note: Rice has
been a fixture in the
Ravens downhill run-
ning attack, but he
can also be a huge
factor catching the
football out of the
backfield and in the
screen game.
HALOTI NGATA
Pos.: Nose tackle
Ht: 6-4Wt: 340
NFL Exp: 8th year
How Acquired:
Draft, 2006, 1st round
(12th overall)
Of Note: Ngatas
presence in the mid-
dle of the Baltimore
defense is imposing
and hes a hard body
to move in the run
game. Most of the
time hell take on the
double team, allow-
ing the linebackers to
roam free and make
plays.
TERRELL SUGGS
Pos.: Outside
linebacker
Ht: 6-3Wt: 260
NFL Exp: 11th year
How Acquired:
Draft, 2003, 1st round
(10th overall)
Of Note: Suggs
notched a sack in
each of the first three
games of the season,
showing that he still
has the speed and
quickness to get to
the opposing quar-
terback. He also has
a knack of stripping
the football loose.

The Ravens Run Offense
It all starts with the diminutiveRay Rice, who is trying to get
healthy after injuring his hip ver-
sus the Cleveland Browns in
Week 2. The six-year veteran has
34 career touchdowns and has
proven to be durable, only miss-
ing one game in five years.
Reserve running back Bernard
Pierce gives the Ravens a nice
one-two punch, but Head Coach
John Harbaugh definitely needs
more production out of his
ground game. The Ravens aver-
aging only 77.3 yards in their first
three games in 2013.
The Ravens Run Defense
The middle of the Ravens rundefense has been solid ever since
Haloti Ngata was drafted eight
years ago out of Oregon. Hes big,
athletic and difficult to move off
the line of scrimmage at 340
pounds. Local product Josh
Bynes out of Boyd Anderson High
School benefits from the attention
Ngata receives and ranked sec-
ond on the team in tackles after
three games. Also, outside line-
backers Elvis Dumervil and Terrell
Suggs have a knack for making
plays from the back side because
of their play speed.
The Ravens Pass Offense
Quarterback Joe Flacco is try-
ing to follow up a Super Bowl
victory and a game Most
Valuable Player award this sea-
son without his favorite targetfrom last year, Anquan Boldin.
So far in 2013, Flacco hasnt
produced gaudy numbers, but
he seems to be getting com-
fortable with receivers Torrey
Smith and Jacoby Jones.
Veteran tight end Dallas Clark
was second on the team in
receptions through three
games, but must start to play a
bigger role in the red zone.
Solid is the word for the Ravens kicking crew when I look at placekicker
Justin Tucker and punter Sam Koch. Tucker was 5-of-7 through the first
three games and one of those misses was from plus 50 yards out. Koch
was averaging 49.5 per punt and 42.1 yards net. The return game added
a spark against the Texans when punt returner Tandon Doss went 82
yards for a touchdown. He has dependable hands and has shown the
ability to be explosive already this season.
The Ravens Special Teams
The Ravens Pass Defense
The pass rush starts at line-
backer in this 3-4 defense with
Elvis Dumervil and Terrell
Suggs. Dumervil is still highly
productive in his eighth seasonand Suggs produced at least
one sack in each of the first
three games of the 2013 sea-
son. Its a tough job replacing a
player like Ed Reed, but rookie
Matt Elam has the speed and
the instincts you need to patrol
the middle of the secondary.
His maturity might be one of
the keys for this defense to
progress according to plan.

Two of the teams 10 meetings have gone to overtime, with the
Dolphins winning both games 9-6 on Nov. 16, 2003 and 22-16 on
Dec. 16, 2007. The game-winner in 2007 came on a 64-yard pass
from Cleo Lemon to Greg Camarillo.
Only once in the teams 10 meetings have the Dolphins and Ravens
both scored at least 20 points. That was in the 2004 season finale in
Baltimore when the Ravens pulled out a 30-23 victory.
One of the Dolphins touchdowns in that 2004 game came on a kick-
off return by Wes Welker. It was Miamis first kickoff return for a
touchdown since 1989 (Marc Logan at Houston).
The Dolphins have had two 300-yard passing performances against
the Ravens by Lemon (315 yards) in 2007 and by Chad Pennington
(314) the following season.
The Dolphins held Baltimore under 10 points in three of their five
victories against the Ravens. One of those was a 19-6 decision in2000 on the night the Dolphins honored Dan Marino following his
retirement.
In seven career regular season games against the Ravens, Dolphins
wide receiver Mike Wallace has 31 catches for 426 yards and one
touchdown. Wallaces best day against Baltimore came in the 2011
season opener when he had eight catches for 107 yards.

STORY LINES The Dolphins improved to 3-0 after Ryan
Tannehill capped a 75-yard game-winning
drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass to rook-
ie tight end Dion Sims with 38 seconds left.
Sims catch was the first of his NFL career and
it came on the same drive where fellow tight
end Michael Egnew also had his first NFL
reception.
The other Dolphins touchdowns came on a
5-yard run by Daniel Thomas in the second
quarter and an 18-yard pass from Tannehill
to Brian Hartline in the third quarter.
Hartlines touchdown came three plays after
long-snapper John Denney, who set a fran-
chise record by appearing in his 131st con-
secutive game, recovered a fumble forced
by rookie seventh-round pick Don Jones.

Q. How would you describe the
teams mental toughness?
JP: Its a good group. These guys are pro-
fessional. They work very hard. They come
into the building and give us an honest days
work. Its a good group to coach. I like the
way they are working.
Q. What has helped make this
team be so successful in thefourth quarter?
JP: I think in a couple of situations, its
more of a function of our guys. They invest an
awful lot of time in this profession. They are
hungry and they want to win. In the fourth
quarter, youve got to step up and make
plays if you want to win games. I think its
more that inner desire, that chemistry the
guys have together. They want to get things
done. Theyve got to do everything they can
within their power to play as well as they pos-
sibly can. I think thats maybe more so than
any play call or anything else that may occur
in the fourth quarter.
Q. How has Ryan Tannehill
grown this year, from your
perspective?
JP: I think a couple of things. Hes got
1,000 reps in the bank, thats number one, so
we think his play speed is a little bit better
than it was a year ago. We think some of the
guys that have come to the ballclub
Brandon (Gibson) and Mike (Wallace) have
helped him a little bit. Brian (Hartline) is a guy
he has a lot of faith and confidence in. So I
think all of those things the experience,
the play speed, the different weapons hes
had at his disposal have helped him.
Q: What does Rishard Matthews
add to the receiver rotation?
JP: Hes a tough guy. He likes football.
Hes very competitive. He catches the foot-
ball with his hands, and he likes to compete.
He can run, and he thinks hes a good player,
which is a good thing to have. He likes to
play the game and he likes to practice.
Q. How much improvementhave you seen from corner-
back Nolan Carroll?
JP: I think hes more consistent. Obviously
he made that one real, real nice play on the
ball in the first game. I think it was the first
drive of the first game. Hes a competitive
guy. Hes very, very competitive. He comes
out and works hard every single day. Hes cer-
tainly gotten better. His transitions have got-
ten better. His coverage ability has improved.
I like the way he plays the game. He com-
petes. You can put your head at night into a
pillow and know that guy is going to give you
everything hes got.
Q. How important is eliminating
penalties?
JP: Our guys are disciplined. They have
done a good job of playing within the rules.One of the things I think has been good on
defense is our targeting when we are tack-
ling has been very good. Weve hit quarter-
backs a number of times, and our guys have
been very good and disciplined about the
discipline of the hit and not going too high,
and the same thing with the receivers.
Thats got to be part of our game. It has to
be part of the way we play. We take a lot of
pride in that, and weve got to keep work-
ing on that.
Head Coach Joe Philbin tackles a variety of subjects, including the keys
to the Dolphins fourth-quarter success, the teams mental toughness,
and the development of Rishard Matthews and Nolan Carroll

If you werent coaching, whatwould you be doing rightnow?
Id be involved in athletics somehow,
athletic administration or something along
those lines. But I think it would be hard to be
away from sports. Its all Ive known my whole
life, so probably something along those
lines.
Whats something youvelearned about one of your play-ers this summer?
It would be Matt Moore and the fact
that he bought an RV in the offseason. I
cant picture Matt Moore driving around in
an RV with his daughter, Aubrey, and his wife
(Tara). But hes got an RV and I guess hes
planning on driving around the country at
some point, and its harder for me to imag-
ine him doing it, but thats something I
learned this summer that he did and Id like
to see pictures of him and his family in that
RV.
Whats your favorite thing aboutyour job?
I think the best thing about this job is Ive
got great guys in my room, the quarterback
group is a great group of people, and theneverybody we work with is great. Everybody
in this facility and in this organization is top-
notch, so the work environment and the peo-
ple here make it fun to come to work every
day.
What were your favorite teamand player growing up?
Im from Oklahoma, so we didnt have a
pro team. Yeah, the Cowboys were always
on TV. I wouldnt say that I lived or died with
the Cowboys wins and losses every week,
but that was the team I watched every
game, Troy Aikman and all those guys. But I
wouldnt say I had a favorite team growing
up. Truth be told, Peyton Manning was my
favorite player. When he was playing at
Tennessee, I was in middle school and fun-
damentally he was always the best, and he
was always a smart quarterback, so it was
easy for me to try to emulate that as I was
growing up.
Which coach has had the
biggest influence on your
career?
Coach (Mike) Sherman, no question. Id
say Coach Sherman and my dad. My dad
was a coach and he coached me in youth
sports growing up, so he taught me the fun-
damentals and that got me started. Then
Coach Sherman has taken it from there and
taught me the ins and outs of the game, so
between those two I owe them a lot of
credit.

7/27/2019 Finsiders Playbook: Dolphins Vs. Ravens
45/76
Back in mid-May, just before the Miami
Dolphins hit the field for their first set of
OTAs, fifth-year wide receiver Brian Hartline
boldly proclaimed on NFL Network that his
receiving corps was absolutely the best in
the AFC East. So far, its hard to argue that
point.
Miami ranked ahead of the New York Jets,
New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills in the
critical receiving categories during its 3-0
start, and that included passes caught by the
tight ends and running backs. But quarter-
back Ryan Tannehills top three receivers
Hartline, Mike Wallace and Brandon Gibson
were a very effective trio early on. Second-
year receiver Rishard Matthews broke out
two weeks ago against the Atlanta Falcons
with four catches for 42 yards to give
Tannehill a legitimate fourth option among
the wideouts.
He came in at a critical time and made a
big third-down catch for us on the right side-
line, I believe in the third quarter, Tannehill
said. Then on the last drive he came in and
made some big catches for us. To be able to
have him be a part of our offense, kind of
integrate him a little bit, is huge and hes
making plays.
When Hartline made that statement on
television, he was including veteran tight end
Dustin Keller in the group based on Kellers
stellar production over the years with the
New York Jets. Keller was lost for the season
to a knee injury in the third preseason game
at Houston, but third-year tight end Charles
Clay has stepped in admirably. Still, its the
foursome that is the driving force behind the
type of production Tannehill has shown in the
passing game and they lean on each other.
Were a unit. We try to just be there for
each other and help when its needed, said
Gibson, who is in his fifth season in the
league All of us can play each position, so
we just make sure that we communicate and
make sure we do the right thing on the field.
Hartline was Tannehills favorite target last
year during the quarterbacks rookie season
and caught 74 passes for 1,083 yards and a
touchdown. He doubled his touchdown
numbers in three games and has seen the
benefit that having a speed threat like
Wallace on the outside brings in terms of
opening things up for him and the other
receivers.
There already is a sense of camaraderie
among the receivers to the point where they
feel comfortable making jokes at the others
expense. Hartline had a little fun in the days
leading up to the Monday night game at
New Orleans pretending that all of them fit
the diva receiver stereotype and dont get
along, saying each of them wants the ball
and each of them likes to talk about them-
selves. Wallace played along.
Were cool. I dont really like them that
much. Theyre all right. They cant really
come too close to me, though, he said with
a smile. No, I love those guys. Theyre great
players. We all work hard. Were going to
clown around but at the same time once we
get on the field were all going to work as
hard as we can to get better. Were going to
help each other out.
Whatever I can do to help them Im
going to do it, whatever they can do to help
me theyll do it, so were out here for each
other. We want to see each other rise to the

occasion every single time, make the
best catches, run the best routes,
make the best plays and we want
success for each other. I think as
long as we have that, nobodys
being selfish and you just want the
best for youre brother, well do
well.
Now that Tannehill has spread
the ball around to nine different
receivers, including running backs
Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas and
the other two tight ends, Michael
Egnew and Dion Sims, it forces
opposing defenses to choose their
options. The Cleveland Browns andAtlanta Falcons opted to keep a
safety high on whichever side
Wallace lined up to take away his
deep route, holding him to three
receptions for 22 yards in those two
games. The Colts tried to take away
Hartline and Gibson and paid the
price, as Wallace caught a career-
high nine passes for 115 yards and a
touchdown and Clay added a
career-high 109 receiving yards on
five catches.
It was Hartline and Gibson who were the
beneficiaries against the Browns and the
Falcons, combining for 27 receptions for 297
yards and two touchdowns. Hartline could
not single out one particular play when he
saw the field open up for him thanks to
Wallace drawing extra coverage and he
thinks thats because its not just Wallace
influencing the defensive calls.
I dont think anyones getting double-
covered because you cant game-plan for
one person, Hartline said. The hardest per-
son to double-cover is probably Brandon
because Brandon is in the slot, so he might
get some in-and-out coverage, but if youre
doing that, then you leave someone else
open.
What has been most encouraging so far
is the trust Tannehill has shown in the entire
offense and how he has not locked on to
just one or two receivers. He surveys the
field and isnt afraid to pick his second or
third option rather than force a throw into
tight coverage. Considering how new
Wallace and Gibson are to the team, thats a
credit to their work in practice and in the
meeting room.
I think the familiarity that our quarter-
back has with the receivers and the receivers
with him at this point is higher than it was a
year ago possibly, offensive coordinator
Mike Sherman said.
Matthews came on strong at the end of
last season as a seventh-round draft choice
and started to develop a rapport with
Tannehill over the last month. He finished
with 11 catches for 151 yards and earned the
fourth and last wide receiver spot on
the roster this year in training camp.
Everybody, from Gibson, Wallace,
Hartline, Tannehill and Head Coach
Joe Philbin, describes Matthews the
same way, as a tough player who is
very competitive, has sure hands
and is not afraid to go across the
middle and absorb contact. His two
clutch catches on the final scoring
drive against Atlanta both were
made in the middle of the field for a
combined 16 yards and a first down.
Matthews points to the other
three veteran receivers as the reason
for his progress.
Im learning from Hartline,
Wallace and Gibson at the same
time and theyre doing a good job at
letting me know what I need to do,
what I need to work on and what I
need to study, Matthews said.
Mike, hes just speed, so I definitely
learn speed from him. Brandon, hes
real technical with his routes,, so Im
learning that and watching him on
film and him letting me know what Ineed to do coming in and out of my
breaks faster. Hartline, hes like another
coach out there, so learning a lot from all of
them is really helping me out.
With Matthews continued development
and the different strengths all of the other
three receivers bring to the offense, it has
expanded the options not only for Tannehill
but also for Sherman and Philbin. It has also
allowed the group to stay effective for four
quarters.
These guys play fast. They play a lot of
snaps. They play hard, said Philbin, who
made use of a variety of receivers in Green
Bay when he was the Packers offensive coor-
dinator. We ask a lot of these guys, and the
more guys you have to keep guys fresher we
think is great.
Its the opposing defensive coordinators
who dont think its that great.

In its fourth year, the Sun Life Rising Stars
Awards program is continuing to reward
highly motivated senior high school students
and nonprofit organizations in the South
Florida community for their unrelenting ded-
ication to the betterment of South Florida.
As part of the award distribution, students
were surprised at their respective high
schools by Miami Dolphins players, cheer-
leaders, the MDWO, and members of Sun
Life Financial. Each of the four winning non-
profits was presented with a $50,000 grant
and each student award recipient was pre-
sented with a $5,000 check to help toward
financing their college education.
The first stop of the surprise visits was
made to Angel Lopez at Estero High School.
Members of the MDWO presented him with
his check for his work with New Horizons of
Southwest Florida.
The surprises continued as Dolphins
guard Richie Incognito helped to award
Vanessa Civil for her work with Childnet at
Blanche Ely High School. Next, the group
headed to Lake Worth High School, where
punter Brandon Fields and kicker Caleb
Sturgis surprised Rachelle Battle for her work
with Urban Youth Impact. The last visit of the
day was to Miami Northwestern Senior High
School, where center Mike Pouncey assisted
in presenting a check for the final recipient,
Kimberly Sandino, for her work with Casa
Valentina.
I know when I was growing up my mom
was very strict on me and my brother as far asdoing the right things in school and making
the right grades, Pouncey said. To be able
to give back to a kid who is well deserving of
it, and to get a scholarship for $5,000 to go to
school, it just means the world to me. I know
the kid is happy; it put a smile on my face. It
was a very successful event.
Nearly $4 million will have been granted
to 70 students and 63 nonprofit organizations
in 14 cities throughout the country by Sun
Life through 2013.

Finsider and former Pro Bowl Dolphinsguard Troy Drayton shares his experiencesfacing a defending Super Bowl championwith Sean Grimm in this installment of Finsiders Focus.
Much like the Dolphins will face today
against the Baltimore Ravens, I realized wewere playing the Super Bowl champions assoon as the schedule came out. The gamealways stuck out like a sore thumb.
We played four of them when I was withthe team. I would say to myself, This isexactly the kind of test this team needs. Youalways circle this game on your schedule.You get to go against the Super Bowl cham-pions and the first thing you think is, I amready to lace my shoes back up I am so excit-ed!
For this team to get to where they want togo, whether its simply making the playoffs or
reaching the Super Bowl, you have to beatthe best. Period! If you cant get excitedabout this game, you dont have a pulse.Thats just one of the many reasons why it issuch a great test.
My memories of facing defending SuperBowl champions are as follows:
In 1996, we had the Dallas Cowboys athome and they beat us, 29-10. It was terriblewatching that game from the sidelines,because I just hurt my knee the week beforeand the medical staff wanted me to rest myknee. I wanted to play against them. I wasnthappy, to say the least. Losing sucks.
In 1997, we went to Green Bay for a
matchup against the Packers. Favre vs.Marino. You cant get any better than that. Iremember catching a few passes, but morethan anything I remember how upset I wasafter we lost the game. They topped us, 23-18.
The next year in 1998, we battled theBroncos in Miami. It started as Marino vs.Elway but turned into the Lamar Thomasshow. I mean, he did have three touchdowns.It was Monday night football and it was amagical night beating the Broncos. Oh, and I
had three catches for 64 yards, which was over21 yards per catch. I was balling!
Finally, in 1999 we got to play the Broncosagain. This time it was in Denver, but we gotthem again. Elway vs. Marino, take two. Iremember getting free in the back of the endzone and catching a touchdown, but my footwas on the back line, so my touchdown wascalled back. I hate big bold lines on fields, butwe went into Mile High and kicked theBroncos' butts. Oh, and I caught two passesfor 21 yards.

64 FINSIDERS PLAYBOOK
Oct. 4, 1981 Wide receiver Nat Moore sets a
Dolphins record (since broken) with 210
receiving yards (on seven catches) as Miami
and New York Jets play to a 28-28 tie.
Oct. 9, 1983 Quarterback Dan Marino and
wide receiver Mark Duper make their first-
ever starts for the Miami Dolphins, with
Marino passing for 322 yards and Duper net-
ting seven catches for 202 yards. The offen-
sive explosion produces 971 total yards
between the Dolphins and Bills, with Buffalowinning the Orange Bowl encounter, 38-35 in
overtime.
Oct. 11, 1987 Miamis replacement team
records a 42-0 shutout victory over the
Kansas City Chiefs in the first regular season
game played at Joe Robbie Stadium. Safety
Liffort Hobley (two interceptions, 55-yard
fumble recovery for a TD, four tackles, two
passes defensed) earns AFC Defensive
Player of the Week honors for his efforts. Don
Shula and Joe Robbie are given game balls
by the replacement team following the con-
test in honor of Miamis first win in the new
stadium.
Oct. 9, 1988 The Dolphins reverse history by
defeating the Raiders, 24-17, at the Los
Angeles Memorial Coliseum. It marks
Miamis first-win ever against the Raiders in
their home stadium and the Dolphins first
victory over the Raiders in 10 years. The
game is played in 96-degree heat the
warmest game in Dolphins history.
Oct. 8, 1989 In Miamis 13-10 overtime win
against Cleveland, Dan Marino goes over
25,000 yards passing in his career, becoming
the 25th player in NFL history to reach the
25,000-yard passing milestone. Marino also
breaks Bob Grieses Dolphins record of
25,092 career passing yards.
Oct. 10, 1993 Scott Mitchell comes off the
bench and replaces an injured Dan Marino
(torn right Achilles) and throws a pair of touch-
down passes to lead the Dolphins to a 24-14
win at the Cleveland Browns. Mitchell enters
the game just before halftime and completes
10 of 16 passes for 118 yards with two touch-
downs and an interception. Mitchell is named
as AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his
performance against the Browns. Marino is
placed on injured reserve on Oct. 13 and miss-
es the remainder of the season.
Oct. 5, 1997 The Dolphins defeat the Kansas
City Chiefs, 17-14, at Pro Player Stadium,
marking the 300th victory in franchise history,
including playoffs. The Dolphins become the
second team (after Oakland) from the oldAFL to reach the 300-win plateau.
Oct. 10, 1999 The Dolphins set a franchise
record by posting 25 fourth-quarter points,
and in the process erase a pair of nine-point
deficits to earn a 34-31 triumph over the Colts
at the RCA Dome. Quarterback Dan Marino
throws a pair of touchdowns in the final peri-
od, including a 2-yard strike to Oronde
Gadsden with 27 seconds to play, lifting
Miami to victory. It marks the 35th time in
Marinos career that he has led the Dolphins
back from a fourth-quarter deficit for a win.
Oct. 10, 2004 Kicker Olindo Mare aggra-
vates a calf injury during pre-game warmups
prior to a game against New England at
Gillette Stadium. It thrusts return man Wes
Welker into kicking duties. Not only does
Welker perform his usual punt and kickoff
return chores, but he also converts both a 29-
yard field goal attempt and a PAT, and kicks
off as well, becoming the first player in NFLhistory to do all five in the same game.
Although the Dolphins lose, 24-10, Welker
earns AFC Special Teams Player of the Week.
honors.
Oct. 7, 2007 Jason Taylor starts his 119th
straight game in a matchup against the
Texans at Houstons Reliant Stadium, setting
a new Dolphins record, one that formerly was
held by Richmond Webb.

Craig set the bar as well.
