Fins get their 1st win of the season, in New England 38-13.
Not much, if anything went wrong for the Fins this week.
Ronnie finally started, which he should have all along, and had huge game. 17 carries 113 yds 4TDs and a passing TD. Ricky had 16 carries 98 yds.
Pennington was 17-20 for 226 yds.
The O-Line was great. No sacks and the team rushed for 216 yds.
The D was great too. The Pats were held to 216 yds, they had 2 turnovers, and 4 sacks, with 3 by Joey Porter, who finally backed up his own words for once.
4 of the 5 td's came on that formation with Ronnie lining up as qb, ricky in the slot, and Pennington at wr.
funny stuff, but it worked. Pats were so confused ever time, and it usually ended up with Ronnie faking the hand off and taking it himself up the middle.

Yeah, it helps that the guy who created that formation for Darren McFadden at Arkansas is now the Dolphins QB coach. He's the one that put those in according to Ronnie
They were really opening up lots of holes and I can't remember any penalties. This was definitely the offense I envisioned when I made that post a couple weeks ago. Even Teddy Bear Ginn managed to contribute.
