Some stats through week two as we enter Jets week:
- The Dolphins defense leads the league in average yards allowed per rush with 2.2, and is ranked fourth overall against the rush.
- Speaking of the running game, the offense is second overall in the NFL with 171 yards per game on the ground, trailing only the Bills at 198.
- Three of the top five running backs in the NFL belong to the AFC East: C.J. Spiller is number one with 292 yards, Reggie Bush is second with 241 yards, and the Patriots' Stevan Ridley is fifth with 196 yards. Who would have guessed that?
- Here are the five rookie quarterbacks QB rating through week two: RGIII 111.6, Russell Wilson 81.1, Andrew Luck 75.2, Ryan Tannehill 62.6, and Brandon Weeden 57.6.
- Yesterday was the Fins first home opening win since the 2005 opener against the Broncos, a 34-10 victory.
- The Dolphins are .500 for the first time since week 15 of the 2010 season.
- Dan Marino's first career TD pass was to tight end Joe Rose, who wore number 80. Ryan Tannehill's first career TD pass? Tight end Anthony Fasano. His number? 80.
- The Fins offense ranks 13th overall in the NFL with 363.5 yards per game, and 18th with 22.5 points per game.
- Special team wise, the Fins rank third in average yards per return with 20.1, and 9th in average kick return yards with 25.8.
I leave you with coach Joe Philbin addressing the locker room after his first career victory as a head coach. Hopefully the first of many. Enjoy.
