Halftime update: Dolphins 14, Panthers 3

Miami scored two touchdowns in the final four minutes of the half to stun the Panthers and take an 11-point lead.

Sparked by a 36-yard completion from quarterback Chad Henne to receiver Brian Hartline, the Dolphins drove 81 yards for their first TD.

The score came on  a 14-yard pass from Henne to running back Ricky Williams, who beat linebacker Na'il Diggs to get into the end zone.

After a Carolina possession, a shanked, low punt by Jason Baker gave Dolphins' return man Davone Bess a running start. The 34-punt was returned 22 yards to the Carolina 29.

Miami took advantage of the field position, scoring with 57 seconds left in the half on a 1-yard run out of the Wildcat formation by Williams.

The four-minute stretch marked the first time in Williams' career that he has scored running and receiving TDs in the same game.

See what happens wen you don't play to your strengths. Keep throwing unnecessarily and now its 14-3. Now Fox and Davidson will have Jake throw more (playing from behind...u know) and it will soon be 28-3.

Nice job Foxy!!

Fox sucks. No timeout at 3 seconds and a hail mary? Just give up you idiot.

And Smith......good gracious....if you watch the return from commercials all of his jabbering would make you think he has 5 catches for two scores. STFU and play football.

They were uninspired and under coached. Why do they do this every third game?

Listened to the first quarter on the radio....did they really get to the 8 and then throw three passes?

Steve Smith being easily handled single coverage by a ROOKIE!

We miss Thomas Davis and Jordan Gross so much. I hope there'll be better tackling in the second half. I don't have a great feeling about this, though, but hopefully I will be wrong.
