Active Roster
These were the Dolphins depending less on their exotic Wildcat formation and its emphasis on subterfuge and more on, well, sheer toughness.
These were the Dolphins, all banged up and hurt coming into the game and then dissolving into what coach Tony Sparano called a "patchwork" team as things got worse, being resolute.
Miami 24, Carolina 17.
The Dolphins needed to be nasty. Miami was without injured running back Ronnie Brown, who had been the primary operator of the Wildcat, and also was working on short-week preparation for a Thursday night road game.
So, they went marching into Bank of America Stadium with their chests out ... and emerged with a 5-5 record.
