Week 9 Recap

After eight long weeks of frustration, the Miami Dolphins finally showed what they are capable of. After two straight weeks of blowing fourth quarter leads, the Dolphins scored early and then scored some more. Miami was able to jump to a 14-3 lead at halftime thanks to QB Matt Moore's two touchdown passes to TE Anthony Fasano. Miami's defense, particularly the front seven, was relentless in getting to Kansas City QB Matt Cassel, sacking him five times and forcing him out of the pocket nine times. The Chiefs entered the game having allowed 13 sacks all season, tied for sixth-best in the league. The Dolphins came out of halftime looking to build on their lead as Moore threw a 14 yard touchdown to WR Brandon Marshall folllowed by a 28 yard run by RB Reggie Bush. Miami prevailed 31-3 and will host the slumping Washington Redskins this Sunday in Miami.
