The Miami Dolphins upset the #2 Ranked Raiders in Miami 28-25.
Super Star QB Derek Carr was benched in the first half finishing the game 1 for 11, 8 total yards and 4 INT and sacked 3times. An undisclosed source noted Carr was spotted on South Beach popping Bottles at Club ORA until 5 AM.
The First Half was ALL Miami. On the Raiders opening drive Pierre-Louis set the tone as he blitz up the middle and unleashed a vicious Hit almost causing Carr to fumble for a 7 yard loss.
2 plays later same drive Carr must have still recalled the vicious HIT he stepped back on 3rd down throwing his first INT to none other Pierre-Louis.
It was the Carpenter show as he returned to the starting role from injury finishing with 24 attempts 123 yards and 2 TD. Note the TD came in the first half as the Dolphins scored 21 points to Raiders 10.
The Raiders score came from a third string QB throwing an Interception to super star MLB Dionte Upshaw who sniffed the screen pass scoring a TD. Upshaw finished the game with 6 Takles, 4 for loss, and 4 INT.
Many Raiders Fans wondered why Coach Mike decided to go for a 4 and 5 on the Dolphins 5 yard line instead of taking the Field Goal. Luckily he did as Carr found his favorite Target Howard who Picked him off and returned it for a 102 yard Touchdown . Howard played very well also recorded 2 sacks before car was benched.
Parker and Angulo also registred interception and Finally Coach Mike said ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! CARR GET YOUR ASS ON THE BENCH!
The second half things started shifting in Oklands favor as Upshaw lifted his team with 2 INT in the 3rd QT.
Morty Smith came in off the bench for the Raiders and was poised in the pocket. He made the necessary throws to bring the Raiders back. A key play came late in the 3rd when Smith scrambled to the right while Cameron Jordan could not tackle the elusive QB giving him enough time find Tanner Santucci alone after a playmaker play. If you ask me "HE GOT LUCKY. But he made the play.
Dalton played horrible finishing 6 for 15 for 57 yards and 4 INT's.
However 2 of the 6 completions came in clutch time. Both on the final drive and on 3rd down. Dalton was coached not to give the ball back to the Raiders as it is clear Coach Mike is THE BEST IN THE LEAGUE with any seconds left on the clock.
Dalton relied on his power back Carpenter and made two crucial 3rd down throws to keep the drive alive connecting with Grant and Stills.
Dolphins needed A Touchdown because a field goal was not going to cut it being down by 4.
Dalton managed to get the clock down to 39 seconds before KELLY trucked over two Raiders and found the End Zone.
AND NOW WILL MIKE FIND A WAY TO TIE WITH 1 TIME OUT?
The answer was he Almost did. Unbelievable with 5 seconds left Smith connected on an out fought to bring in the GAY Kicker. Yes Jordan Gay. Lol
And the Kick is up...............
Dolphins panicked and did not call time out to ice Gay! Ironically NO need Gay's not Staight and the Kick is Wide Right! LOL Miami Wins !Toma!
Great Game Mike Wright Hopefully we see you in the post season for a rema
