Dolphins hold onto ball for 45 minutes... but lose

This one was tough to swallow. This one was the opposite of what happened all last season, when Miami got all the bounces and won the close games. Despite possessing the ball for 45 minutes, the Dolphins lost to the Colts, 27-23, on Peyton Manning's TD pass with 3 minutes left in the game.

Unveiling the Wildcat for the first time in the regular season, Miami pounded out 239 yards on the ground and converted 15 of 21 third downs. Ronnie Brown gained 136 of those yards on his own, scoring 2 touchdowns in the process. Chad Pennington's stats weren't impressive (22 of 33 for 183 yards), but he did enough to help win the game.

In the end, it was the pass defense, a weakness present since training camp, that proved to be the team's downfall. In addition to the game-winning TD, the secondary also gave up an 80-yard touchdown on the Colts' first play from scrimmage.
