Oh, but is was indeed sweet watching my old town Dolphins win a classic shootout with my most hated AFC East rival, the New Yawk Jets. Even though those Orange Jerseys looked more like the Miami Hurricanes than Dolphins.
After listening to the Sports media brag about the Jet defense all week, the Dolphin's physically took them apart. Their winning drive took five minutes, and left NY time for only one desperation play.
Second year QB Chad Henne came of age in only his second start.
As the term goes, he showed he can "go vertical", hitting Ginn for a 53 yard TD pass.
He also threw several perfect 'touch' passes in critical situations, and never turned the ball over.
Several questionable pass interference penalties went against the Dolphins.
They never let them get them down, and came back every time to retake the lead.
New York's coach Rex Ryan (His dad coached the great Bears defense in the eighties, and later was head coach of the Eagles) whined in the post game press conference.
Instead of giving credit where due, which made the win even better for old Dolfans like myself.
Back in the hunt after losing the first three games, football sure is a funny game sometimes!
