It’ll be like the battle of David and Goliath when the Miami Dolphins host the New England Patriots.

It’ll be like the battle of David and Goliath when the Miami Dolphins host the New England Patriots. No biblical blasphemy intended, we’re just saying our Fins would desperately like to repeat last December’s performance, when they shut out the Patriots 21-0 at Dolphin Stadium. The recipe for success for our hometown heroes will have to come from a ball-control offense that is led by workhorse running back Ronnie Brown, to keep Tom Brady and the high-powered Patriots offense off the field.

With veteran starting quarterback Trent Green suffering from a grade three concussion sustained in week five against the Texans, Dolfans will have to rally behind backup Cleo Lemon or second-round pick John Beck. Don your teal and orange finery as the Fins face their AFC East division rivals this afternoon at 1:00 at Dolphin Stadium.
