DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -The Miami Dolphins' first victory in six weeks had coach Nick Saban waving his index finger Monday. Miami's No. 1? Not exactly - not with a 2-6 record. ``It's one game. It's one game. It's one game,'' said Saban, finger aloft. Wins rarely come much sweeter than the Dolphins' 31-13 upset of the previously unbeaten Bears in Chicago on Sunday. With criticism of the franchise on the rise - and even members of the 1972 perfect-season Dolphins jumping on the pile - Miami's second-year c |

The reality is there are enough flaws to make few believe the Colts can seriously challenge the 1972 Miami Dolphins as the league's only perfect team. They're allowing a league-worst 165.7 yards rushing per game and haven't been blowing out opponents like they did a year ago. In some ways, though, that may make the Colts more dangerous.

The Steelers (2-6) have lost five of six since a season-opening victory over the Miami Dolphins. The losses have all started and ended with turnovers, with six more on Sunday. Santonio Holmes fumbled away a kickoff and fumbled again on a punt return before being removed from special teams duties. The epitome of the season occurred late in the |

CHICAGO (AP) -Chicago Bears wide receiver Bernard Berrian left Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins with a rib injury. Berrian caught one pass for 10 yards on the Bears' first possession but did not come out for their second series. With Berrian out, Chicago was without its primary deep threat. The third-year pro has 27 catches for 495 yards and four touchdowns this season.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

| (MySportsbook) - In the ramp-up for this Sunday's battle between the Miami Dolphins and Chicago Bears at Soldier Field, no one will forget to mention the year 1985. It was in that season that the 12-0 Bears, having outscored their previous three opponents by a composite score of 104 to 3, went into Miami and were handed a stunning 38-24 defeat, which would remain their only loss during a Super Bowl-winning campaign. The circumstances this week are somewhat similar, in that the Bears a perfect 7-0 for the f |
