The Dolphins apparently need a ton of time to run an effective offense. That’s the lesson from the Chad Pennington-led two-minute drill; the Dolphins took way too much time getting up to the line on several plays, made catches in the middle of the field, and in general didn’t use their time efficiently, leaving their hopes to rest on a final 30-yard heave from Pennington.
And That Does It: Colts Steal 27-23
It didn’t go so well. The Colts intercepted Pennington’s pass and stole a win — if that’s a fair term to use, given that Miami’s defense was so regularly porous — in a game in which they controlled the ball for less than 15 minutes. Total. For the entire game.
And that does it: Manning breaks Johnny Unitas’s record for franchise wins, and proves that he doesn’t need any time at all, really, to put together long, electric touchdown drives.
