The Dolphins had a tough time in the second quarter, seeing a 3-3 tie erased before their eyes as the Ravens got touchdowns on both offense and defense.
The Ravens turned an otherwise routine pass attempt to Patrick Cobbs into a 44-yard interception return touchdown by Terrell Suggs. The Dolphins fought back with a field goal by Dan Carpenter, his second of the day, but that wasn't quite good enough to keep them close.
The Ravens responded with a TD drive in the two-minute drill, scoring on an 11-yard pass from quarterback Joe Flacco to receiver Derrick Mason.
The first half was the worst half of football by the Dolphins so far this season.
Quarterback Chad Pennington has completed 8 of 15 passes for 96 yards. He misfired on the interception that was returned for a score.
Ronnie Brown has been contained as well. He has 16 yards on 100 carries. Greg Camarillo has three receptions but dropped a TD pass.
OK, join me in the comments section below for the resumption of the live blog.
Pennington just bought himself 3 more starts.

That drive is the first half of what we could have done to have a chance. Now, the next drive by Balt. needs to be 3 and out.
Posted by: giarc | October 19, 2008 at 02:54 PM
the reason why we still use the wilcat is to keep the d committed to it then hopefully we can catch them sleeping

Good drive. Let Pennington call more plays. Henning is hot and cold.
Posted by: cocoajoe | October 19, 2008 at 02:58 PM
I wish the Patriots or the jets would allow me to be a fan. At least they know how to win games unlike this franchise which as been the Butt of the AFC East for over a decade Michael.
Posted by: dolphan4life | October 19, 2008 at 02:58 PM

That fumble could have been the big momentum changer miami needs.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 19, 2008 at 03:00 PM
Mandy...can't do something about people who contribute absolutely nothing worth while? Like block their IP? I don't think anyone would mind
Posted by: Marc | October 19, 2008 at 03:00 PM
