Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
I'm not sure if Jay Cutler has his own charitable foundation, but philanthropy is certainly something he should look into sooner rather than later. His three interceptions in today's loss to the Dolphins prove that he likes to share his wealth with others, and money is a better thing for him to give away than football games. Cutler threw picks on two of the first three Bronco possessions, which helped stake the Dolphins to a 13-0 lead. The Broncos climbed back into the contest and appeared to take the lead on a 77-yard pass to Brandon Marshall, but a questionable offensive pass interference call negated the score. Cutler lost his cool after the call and threw his third pick on the next play to set up a Miami field goal.
Cutler's sloppiness was doubly damaging because the Dolphins stopped the Denver ground game in its tracks. The Broncos ran eight times for five yards in the first half and, as the Broncos fell further and further behind, the running game was nowhere to be found. That contributed to a 13-minute time of possession edge and enabled the Dolphins to win despite a lackluster offensive performance.
The Dolphins points, save an impressive drive for the capping touchdown, came as a result of great field position. Chad Pennington was erratic, completing just 23-of-40 passes and throwing one pick. The Bronco defense, deservedly maligned much of the season, turned in its best performance of the year.
Pennington deserves credit, though, for recognizing Denver's weak spot, corner Karl Paymah, by hooking up with Greg Camarillo 11 times on the afternoon. Paymah was playing in place of Champ Bailey, whose absence may have contributed as much to the Denver loss as Cutler's charitable works.
The Dolphins needn't quibble with how they won, however. They are 4-4 right now, well above most expectations, and all four wins have come against teams that entered play with a winning record. Their schedule is easier over the second half, which could find them contending for a playoff spot.
The Broncos will also be contending for a playoff spot. That says more about the dismal AFC West than it says about them, however. They've lost three straight games while the rest of the division flounders, passing up a golden chance to plant themselves as front-runners. A sloppy offense matched with a mediocre defense is not a winning formula, and the Broncos have given up 60 points off turnovers in the last five games. Outside of San Diego, there's no one who appreciates that kind of football.
