Probably the only thing that this game will be remembered for is Miami quarterback Trent Green suffering a concussion after blocking Texans defensive tackle Travis Johnson in the knees and flipping him onto his head. And Johnson angrily yelling and walking past the motionless body of Green. And then going into a tirade in the locker room about how Green's play was dirty. And then apologizing.
(There's lots being written and said about this--some inaccurate--so I suggest watching the video and deciding for yourself).
Whether or not Green's play was dirty, It's pretty ugly to watch someone scream at an unmoving body, or hear of such a locker room rant after a game being stopped for a long time after Green was being put on a stretcher. Apparently, Green has a concussion, and at least some are suggesting that this incident demonstrates that he should retire.
The game was nearly as ugly as the play on the field. Though Ted Ginn Jr. played well on returns against a good special teams, getting a great average field position for Miami, he also was part responsible for that broken play that led to Green's concussion. Miami fans are still waiting for his break out receiving game, though he did have one catch for a 36 yard gain.
Ugly defines the Texans running game. Against the worst run defense in the league, the Texans managed to get 59 yards from their backup running backs, Ron Dayne and Samkon Gado for an average of 2.4 yards a carry. The Texans need Ahman Green back and healthy, but given his history so far, they are in desperate need for a Plan B.
So what wasn't ugly? Brown.
Miami running back Ronnie Brown was beautiful to Miami fans, in how he exposed the Texans run defense. He had his third 100 yard rushing game in a row, averaging 5.0 yards a carry. This against a Texans run defense that had been prior to this game, relatively respectable. The only other Miami running back to ever have three 100 yard rushing games in a row was Ricky Williams.Texans kicker Kris Brown made Texan fans day beautiful by kicking a game winning 57 yard field goal with one second left in the game. He is the third NFL kicker in history to have three 50+ yard field goals in one game, and the first to have three 54+ field goals in a game.
So the Cam Cameron Dolphins are now 0-5, and the Texans squeak a win while trying to survive the injuries to its main offensive playmakers. Ugly.
I left a lot of ugly out as my fingers are getting tired, and I can think of lots of ugly things. You have anything more you want to add to this?
