Marino shows out against the Ravens
Miami Dolphins’ QB Dan Marino showed that he still has a little magic in that right arm of his. He led the Dolphins to their second consecutive win over the Baltimore Ravens, 27-17, at Memorial Stadium Sunday.
Marino and the Dolphins fell behind early in the 2nd quarter 10-0 and then the future Hall of Famer went to work. He orchestrated two TD drives in the 2nd quarter as he hit Charles Jordan for a 19-yd score and Troy Drayton for a 16-yd TD pass to give the Dolphins the lead. Then he conducted a masterful 2-minute drive and Orlindo Mare kicked a 36-yd field goal as time expired for the half giving the Dolphins the lead 17-6.
On the first possession of the second half, Marino led the Dolphins on a 5 minute, 30 second drive capped off with a QB sneak TD by Marino that surprised everyone. The Dolphins led 24-6 and never looked back.
Marino threw for 225 yards and 2 TDs. He is yet to throw an INT yet this season. OJ McDuffie continues to be one of the leaders in the NFL in receiving as he caught 7 passes for 103 yards.
Ravens’ QB Vinny Testaverde threw for 269 yards on 47 attempts. He had a TD to Eric Green.
The Dolphins (2-5) will try to make it three in a row as they host the Chicago Bears next Sunday. The Ravens (3-4) have dropped two in a row and will try to get back on track Sunday as they travel to the Nation’s Capital to face the Redskins.
