I must say that was easily the most fun I have ever had playing Madden 10. Never made that big of a comeback on All-Madden before.

Week 5:Bears(2-2) at Dolphins(4-0)
Dolphins Offense Too Much For Bears

Miami, FL--AP:The Dolphins came out and took a quick 2 score lead and looked to be on their way to winning in blow out fashion, but the Bears had other plans. They came back with 2 straight TD's to tie the game at 14. From then on it was a shootout, but the Dolphins kept hitting Cutler, getting 7 sacks, and the Dolphins balance on offense was too much for the Bears' defense to handle.

Week 7:Dolphins(6-0) at Bills(2-3)
Dolphins Survive Defensive Struggle To Remain Undefeated

Miami, FL--AP:This game was supposed to be a blow out. The Dolphins are one of the best teams in the league and the Bills are not. But, as we all know, division games are always something different. The Dolphins came out and struggled to put up points, but they got the only score in the first quarter to go into the second quarter leading 3-0. In the second quarter, the teams exchanged FG's to make the score 6-3 with the Dolphins in the lead. The Dolphins attempted a FG with :04 left in the first half, but it was blocked. The Bills scored the first TD in the game late in the 3rd quarter. This gave them the lead 10-6. The Dolphins then had a 4th and 5 on the Bill's 11 yard line with 1:41 left in the game. This play was for the game. White got the snap from shotgun, threw a nice lob over the linebacker, under the safety for the TD. The Bills then turned the ball over on downs and gave the Dolphins the game. The Dolphins went on to win 20-10.

Pats Call Out Dolphins!

Earlier today in an interview with ESPN Tom Brady, QB of the New England Patriots called out the Dolphins. He said, "There is no way they will beat us again. They got lucky last time. This game won't even be close. They are going to see a different team than they saw last time."

The Dolphins are 7-0 and the Patriots are 6-1 so we should see a great game.

Ronnie Brown, RB of the Dolphins, had this to say, "We really don't need to be getting involved in any of this talk. We just do what we do on the field and that should be enough."

Dolphins "Get Lucky", Stay Unbeaten

Miami, FL--AP:The Dolphins came into this game angry. The Pats had talked all week about how they had been lucky last time. The Dolphins heard the talk, but didn't get involved. This time they wanted a blow out. The Patriots got the ball first and on the first play T. Brady threw an INT to G. Wilson who returned it for a TD to put the Dolphins up 7-0. This was not how the first quarter would end though. The Patriots went on to score 28 unanswered points and take a huge lead up 28-7.

But, the Dolphins were able to mount a comeback just like last time. They brought the score back within for with a last second TD pass at the end of the first half. This made the score 28-24 at halftime. From there on the Dolphins pretty much dominated and took the win 45-35.
