Ronnie Brown is done for the year, and that means trouble given the year he was having for the Dolphins and their offense. Or does it? Ask the Carolina Panthers about that Dolphins offense. In their 24-17 victory over the Panthers, the Dolphins and their run game did not seem to suffer too much without Brown as Ricky Williams more than made up for his absence.
Ol' Sticky Icky Ricky was able to run for 119 yards and
two touchdowns on 22 carries, to go along with two receptions for 19 yards and another touchdown. The team was able to control the ball for more than half the game, and gain over 300 yards. The run game was enough to give quarterback Chad Henne time to find six different receivers.
The Panthers were able to get their yards as well, and running backs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart combined for 165 yards on 25 carries. The night belonged to Ricky though, as he was able to show people that he does indeed still have it, and keep hope alive for the Dolphins. Within those 119 yards and two touchdowns was a long of 46 yards, and bringing the excitement to the stands.
With the win the Dolphins improve their record to 5-5 and find themselves on the outside looking in when it comes to the playoffs, but kept their hopes alive. The Dolphins will control their own destiny to an extent however, with games against New England, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Pittsburgh and Houston still to come. All teams they will be battling with for a spot back in the Playoffs.
