Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins are a professional American football team based in the Miami, Florida Metropolitan Area. They play their home games in the Miami suburb of Miami Gardens. Currently, the Dolphins are members of the Eastern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The Dolphins began play in the American Football League as an expansion team in 1966, and joined the NFL as part of the AFL-NFL Merger. The Dolphins are the oldest major-league professional sports franchise currently in the state of Florida. Miami Dolphins
The 2005 offseason saw many changes for the Dolphins as Saban began to mold the team in his image. The team selected Auburn running back Ronnie Brown in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft. The Dolphins also signed veteran quarterback Gus Frerotte, who would win the starting job over A.J. Feeley, who was a disappointment in 2004, after Miami gave up a second-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for Feeley. At the 2005 trade deadline, Feeley and a seventh-rounder would be dealt to the San Diego Chargers for Cleo Lemon. Cornerback Patrick Surtain was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for their second-round pick. Finally, Ricky Williams returned to the team. However, he had to sit out the first four games of the 2005 season due to violations of the NFL's substance abuse policy that he had ducked out on in 2004.

On Friday, October 21, the Dolphins had to play their home game against the Kansas City Chiefs two days earlier, because of Hurricane Wilma. The Dolphins lost 30-20 and it made them 0-3 in home games that needed to be rescheduled because of a hurricane since the 2004 season. They would win next week at LSU's Tiger Stadium against the New Orleans Saints 21-6, but would lose their next three games. During that time, they lost two home games to the Atlanta Falcons (17-10) and their division rival New England Patriots (23-16) and then got shut out on the road against the Cleveland Browns (22-0). When things looked grim, the Dolphins regrouped and began gaining steam, and won six games in a row. First, they won on the road against the Oakland Raiders (33-21), then they got revenge against their division rival Buffalo Bills at home (24-23) with a late fourth quarter comeback engineered by backup QB Sage Rosenfels, and then pulled off an upset victory over the San Diego Chargers with a score of 23-21. Then, the Dolphins beat the New York Jets by a score of 24-20, extending their winning streak to four games. The win also put them at the .500 mark (7-7), although wins by the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Diego Chargers put them out of playoff contention. The next week, on Christmas Eve, they achieved their fifth victory in a row with a 24-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans, which guaranteed them not to finish with a losing record. The team closed out their 40th season with a 28-26 victory at New England to finish the 2005 campaign at 9-7. On a side note, this was the first time since 2000-12-24 that the Dolphins were able to beat the Patriots in Foxborough.

The Dolphins hold a record of 4-6, defeating the Minnesota Vikings 24-20 in their latest game played on November 19, 2006 in Miami at Dolphin Stadium.
