The Miami Dolphins are 0-2 for the second straight season. Last year, nobody expected Miami to do well since they were coming off a 1-15 season. But the Dolphins ended up 11-5 last year, equaling the greatest one-season turnaround in NFL history. Miami was poor in week 1, committing four turnovers in a 19-7 loss at Atlanta. The Dolphins were much better in week 2, gaining over 400 yards against Indianapolis and controlling the ball for an eye-popping 45 minutes. However, the Dolphins had to settle for three field goals and fell short on a last- minute drive, which should sound familiar to Chargers fans. “The good news for the Dolphins is they’re playing a team they dominated last year and has had problems stopping what Miami does best — run the ball. Plus, quarterback Chad Pennington has been unstoppable in four previous starts against the Chargers.” Miami has dominated the Chargers for nearly 15 years, winning seven games since the Bolts’ playoff victory in January 1995 to take the 14-2 overall lead. Three of those games were at the Q. The Chargers made the trip out to Miami last year only to see the Dolphins jump out to a 17-3 lead. Miami held on for a 17-10 victory as LaDainian Tomlinson was stopped on fourth-and-goal at the 1 in the last quarter.
