In all, the two clubs combined for an NFL- record 933 passing yards, which topped the 927 yards totaled by Miami's Dan Marino and Ken O'Brien of the New York Jets back on Sept. 21, 1986. "Not the defensive performance that we were hoping for," Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said. "[The Patriots] had almost 700 yards of offense. That's an understatement." One thing working in the Dolphins' favor is that the Texan |

| (MySportsbook) - One quarterback got a clean bill of health. The other may be in for a headache.

Sanchez was sacked four times and hit 12 times overall in last Sunday's dramatic 27-24 defeat of the Dallas Cowboys on the emotion- |

It's a role he insists he's fine with, although he admits as a competitor he still likes to have the football in his hands whenever he can. Tomlinson rushed for just 16 yards on five carries in the opener against Dallas on S |
