Dolphins dominate Jags, barely win

The Miami Dolphins handily beat the Jacksonville Jaguars in most statistical categories but needed a defensive stop at the end of the game to preserve a 14-10 victory. The Dolphins outgained the Jags in yardage, 354 to 217, kept the ball for ten additional minutes, and got more than twice the number of first downs, 22 to 10. However, three turnovers and a missed field goal left the game in doubt until the final minute.

Chad Henne had another record day, completing a franchise record 17 passes in a row. He ended with 21 completions in 29 attempts for 220 yards, an interception, and no touchdown (but he did score a touchdown rushing). Ricky Williams helped with another good game. Williams ran 28 times for 108 yards and a touchdown, but he lost a fumble.

Like last year's Cinderella season, the Dolphins are finding a way to win the close games, unlike the beginning of the year, when the close ones went in the other team's favor as often as Miami's. Next up is a date with the Titans in Tennessee, who just demolished the Rams and are one game behind the Dolphins.
