Too many good things to give just one:

Gameball 1: Andre Goodman. Really, all the starting DBs deserve it, but I'll give it to Goodman since he played his best pro football game ever. After being torn up by big physical WRs like boldin/fitz, Andre Johnson, etc, they "manned" up and held Brandon Marshall to 2 catches for 27 yards. Did anybody see that happening??

Gameball 2: Tony Sparano. He didn't do the old "run up the middle 3 times, punt, and hope your defense can hold them" with a 2-point lead in the 4th. He gave Penny and the offense the opportunity to win the game, vs. Denver's suspect defense, and they did.
Also for the decision to go-for-it on 4th and half-a-yard at midfield on that last drive. The guy plays to WIN. Alot of coaches (cough/cough Wannstadt) punt the ball there and put it on the defense to hold.

Gameball 3: Miami's front 7 -- held Denver to 14 yards rushing on 12 carries, without alot of safety help. Team record for Miami. 2nd lowest rushing total ever for Denver. How huge were the (cheap) offseason additions of Jason Ferguson and Akin Ayodele??

Gameball 4: Chad Pennington. He had a rough first-3-quarters by his standards, but he pulled it together and led a game-clinching drive in the 4th quarter. The guy is clutch. Without him, we dont win this game.

But if I had to pick just 1, I think it has to go to Tony Sparano. He now has this team playing hard every week, and believing they can win any game.


Who do you give a gameball to?
 
im happy he let us go for it on 4th and short this time, the players should be happy about that and it shows he is trusting the offense...
