Dolphins RUN their way to 10-3 lead at halftime

A good, SMART first half from the Miami Dolphins.

A Ryan Tannehill QB sneak, and Caleb Stugis FG has these Fins up 10-3 at the thirty minute mark.

Tannehill finished the first half 8-12, for 98 yards.

Running the ball has been the all the talk this week out of Miami.  Well, they've responded SO FAR.

Lamar Miller had 11 touches for 98 yards, including a 41 yard run that should have ended in a TD, but instead ended in a Cincinnati fumble recovery.  Carlos Dunlap came up behind Miller and knocked the ball out, but Miller had a WIDE OPEN left side of the field and just didn't see it.

However, the Miami defense would hold Cincinnati, much like they've done the entire night.  Andy Dalton finished the first half 13-22, 121 yards, and an INT at the end of the half that resulted in the Sturgis FG.  It was Dimitri Patterson who came up with the pick, his 4th of the season.

Miami ran the ball for a 142 yards in the first half, their most in a half since 2002.

The big thing now will, as it was last week, be what Mike Sherman does in the second half.  Will he stick with the run, like he should, or get away from the game plan that's worked all night long.

The defense is playing great, and the offense is running the football.

That's a recipe to end a losing streak.  But it MUST last 60 minutes.

To the third.
