On this day a LEGEND by the name of EUGENE MURPHY was born.With the team's back against the ropes,he carry the team through adversity like never before seen in SPC HISTORY.Down 13-0 with there star qb TYREE JACKSON hurt for the rest of the season.
Murphy made splashy play after splashy play as he left the Bill's owner dumbfounded.Once thought to not to make the team,Eugene Murphy the 182th pick of the draft and the worst rated player on the dolphin's roster and the whole league,was showered with champagne by his teammates as the locker room erupted with chants of MURPHY,MURPHY,MURPHY.
After the game you could hear chatter between the old ball coach DON SHULA and BRIAN FLORES as they scream inside the Dolphins locker room saying "enjoy the bottom feeding".
That is a direct shot at the former Browns owner when I ask him if I could trade a first round for his running back Kareem Hunt he said,im not trading you anymore,when I ask why he said "because I loves to see you suffer".
So I responded with im not suffering far from it lol and he said "you crying in the chat every 2 mintues about how bad your situation is with,enjoy the bottom feeding"
I responded with I just want the qb acc up and he wrote "Cool.Convo done here"
The best part is right before he left the browns he traded Nick Chubb to his brother for virtually nothing the 30th pick of the 1st round.
And he left the Browns after declaring I want the worst team in next years madden to join a very nice playoff team in the buffalo bills.Knowing that the browns will be no where near as good next year.
A instant classic at Heinz Field.While it was a very sloppy defensive game,it was still very fun to watch.It was a very reminiscing game of the old 70's rivalry between the 7-2 Dolphins and undefeated 9-0 Steelers.
The start of the game belonged to one of the most underrated corners in the league Tre Flowers.He had 2 picks in the first 3 drives,one was a devastaing pick six that really left the steelers searching for answers.
Down 14-0 in what look like it could be a blowout,the resilent steelers had others thoughts in mind as they started to gain confidence with drive after drive.They actually took the lead with about four mintues left in the game.
Tyree Jackson than orchestrated a beauitful last drive.With a few seconds left on the clock the Dolphins pull off one of the most exciting wins of the season.
Tyree Jackson has quietly become one of the more fun players to watch in the league, as you never know what you'll see from him. He once again had a great game in the air, he was accurate on multiple easy and hard throws, and he also had a crazy run for a td as he stared down the Vikings.Jackson rushed for 39 yards on 4 carries.In Mark Walton 1st ever start after freemans injury,he rushed for 143 yards off 15 carries.
Wide receiver Devante Parker had a career day as he had 134 receiving yards and two touchdown receptions.Parker showed off his quickness on his first touchdown reception beating a defender over the top of the defense.
Khalil Mack had his best game of the season with 5 sacks.
Superstar Chase allen had a great game as well with 2 picks.The Dolphins were really affective at tackling throughout most of the game.Raekwon Mcmillan lead the game with 10 tackles,2 for loss.
While this was'nt a close game by any means,Tyree Jackson made play after play to win this game for the Dolphins.He had alot of big throws on 3rd down to move the chains while dealing with pressure.He did alot of his damage passing for 325 with 2 tds and zero ints.He also did damage with his legs,including a scramble td right before half.
The Dolphins offensive line had a easy time with the Bengals front seven all game. They had a easy time creating room to run for Devanta Freeman.Freeman went for 104 yards of 15 carries.
The Bengals went into the game seemingly with the plan of targeting cornerback Paris Smart often, and it did not work for them.Smart made a great play for his interception in the fourth quarter as well as a couple of other pass defenses. Even at the end of the game,He had a ridculous one handed pick.The unfornate part is he would had continue his int streak to 7 games if the cowardly bills owner didnt decide to run away from me.
The Dolphins front four really had a easy time of pass-rush going.Khalil Mack did his usually thing and had 7 tackles with 2 sacks. The best performance came from Paris Smart who had a 95 yard int td return.
The Dolphins had a great deal of success when it came to pressuring Lamar Jackson.The Dolphins combated the Ravens' pass-rush somewhat at times with a quick passing game,The Dolphins came up with pressure in key moments. You have to tip your cap to the Dolphins defensive staff after this one, as they schemed up blitzes on multiple occasions that resulted in an unblocked pass-rusher pressuring Lamar.Sylvester Pettway had the highlight play of the game with a chase down sack of Lamar,showing off his athleticism.
Tyree Jackson was asked to throw a small amount in this game, and that is exactly how the Dolphins drew it up. Jackson was efficient and effective throwing the ball, completing over 65% of his passes for 123 yards. But the damage of Jackson as a runner gave the ravens defense all sorts of issues, as the Dolphins milked the clock to nearly double the time of possession.
The Dolphins run game collected 197 yards on the ground, a lot due to a combination of offensive scheme with Devanta Freeman and Jackson as a runner and the offensive line play. In total,Freeman gained 161 yards on 14 attempts.Paris Smart ball out again as he collected 2 more ints and extended his int streak to 5 games.
It was a breakout afternoon from the Dolphins prize linebacker Khalil Mack. He muscled his huge frame into the backfield to pressure Aaron Rodgers and laid waste to leverage advantages against the run.Khalil register 4 sacks.
Easily the most surprising performance from the Miami defense came from rush linebacker Raekwon Mccmillan. The former 2nd-rounder out of ohio state feasted on the left side of the packers offensive line.Utilizing stunts to run circles around their assigned blockers that left Rodgers out-of-sorts throughout the game.He finished the game with 7 solo tackles.
Two of Jacksons top targets were Robert Woods and tight end Jared Cook.Cook proved to be a mismatch for the packers' linebackers, as he constantly found ways to get separation on the outside and over the middle.Woods made several contested catches, especially over the middle.Paris Smart continue his streak of interceptions to 3 games(thanks to the user) ;)
