Ronnie Brown - Brown the led the Dolphins with 5 TD’s in the Phins first victory of the season against the New England Patriots during a 38 - 13 blowout. Brown would run for 4 TD’s (3 from the “WildCat” formation) and throw one TD out of the same. Brown rushed for 117 yards as well.

After enduring one of the most horrid season in Miami Dolphins history, check that, the “Worst” season in Miami Dolphins history, PhinFans rejoiced after the Phins knocked off the Buffalo Bills in Toronto moving them into a tie for first place in the AFC East. From worst to first in the division. The season is still 3 weeks from being over but for now, the Phins sit tied atop a division they were never supposed to be competing in. Sparano took 31 of 103 votes narrowly beating out WR Davone Bess who received 26. It would have been his second in a row.
This is the 2nd POTW for Chad Pennington. This time around he tossed 2 TD passes and no interceptions as he led the Miami Dolphins to their 9th win of the season keeping the Phins tied with NY and NE for first in the division. Pennington received 32 of the 92 votes.
