The Dolphins (4-3) (4-0 V) won in Cincinnati 22-14, in Week 8, and now sit third in the AFC East. QB Chad Henne made 24 of 37 passes for 217 yards with one interception. RB’s Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown combined for 108 yards off 25 carries with Williams running in a TD. WR Brandon Marshall made five catches for 64 yards, while WR Davone Bees made seven for 53 yards. The Fins O-line didn’t allow Henne to get sacked, which is key to their success. Every facet of the Dolphins offense, defense and special teams played a big role in their win. The Fins need to work on their offense in the red zone after they had a dozen snaps that went nowhere. Dolphins coach Tony Sparano insisted he saw improvement in the red-zone performance and claimed, “we were better this week. The design was better, there were more opportunities. We were better this week than we were last week, but it's still not good enough.'' Sure it might be against the Bengals, but with the Ravens and Titans coming up, they must get points in the red zone. The Dolphins are ranked 13th overall on offense (343ypg) with a 12th ranked pass game (232ypg) and an 16th ranked ground game (111ypg). They score the 24th least amount of points per-game (19ppg).On defense they are ranked eighth (309ypg), with a 12th ranked pass rush (207ypg) and an 11th ranked rush defense (101ypg). The Dolphins allow the 17th most points per-game (21.3ppg).
The Ravens (5-2) (3-0 H) were on a BYE Week after they needed overtime to beat Buffalo 37-34, at home, in Week 7. They currently sit tied atop the AFC North. Against the Bills, QB Joe Flacco completed 16 of 31 passes for 250 yards with three TD’s. RB Ray Rice had 16 carries for 72 yards, while Willis McGahee had 11 carries for 64 yards with a TD. WR Anquan Boldin made six catches for 92 yards with a TD, while TE Todd Heap added two TD’s. The Ravens ultra tough defense had only one sack on the Bills league worst defense. The defense has been a little schizophrenic seven games into the season, looking at times champion-caliber (opening night, against the Jets) and at others, dreadful (last week against Buffalo). DE Haloti Ngata has stepped up his already-impressive game and has become a contender for Defensive Player of the Year. But still, the D-line has had trouble against the run—allowing the likes of Peyton Hillis and Danny Woodhead to run wild. Corey Redding hasn’t had too much impact in getting pressure on the opposing quarterback. Kelly Gregg continues to play well, but the Ravens have allowed too many rushing yards straight up the gut and the Dolphins are all about running the ball. With Ed Reed back (and two interceptions in his first game), expect the D to start generating more turnovers. The Ravens are ranked 14th overall on offense (340ypg) with a 15th ranked pass game (225ypg) and a 12th ranked running game (114ypg). The Ravens score the 15th most points per-game (21.3ppg). They have a 10th ranked defense overall (313pg), with the ninth best ranked pass rush (204ypg) and an 18th rank rush defense (109ypg). The Ravens defense allows the seventh least amount of points per-game (18.4ppg).
