What the Colts learned last year was that a quest |

| (MySportsbook) - Was the Miami Dolphins' stunning upset victory over the Chicago Bears last Sunday an aberration, or was it a springboard? That question will be answered this Sunday, when Nick Saban and company try to put together their first two-game winning streak of 2006 against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs. Miami went into Chicago and handed the previously-unbeaten Bears a humbling 31-13 defeat, forcing quarterback Rex Grossman into six turnovers, cashing the miscues in for a season-high 31 points, |
