And that ends it, and thank God. 

The Miami Dolphins have defeated the Washington Redskins by the score of 20-9. 

For Miami Matt Moore had another good day as he went 20 of 29 for 209 yards. 

He did throw one interception and no touchdowns, but other than the interception, Moore was sharp. 

Meanwhile Reggie Bush had his third straight great game for Miami running the ball 14 times for 47 yards and two touchdowns. He also contributed with four catches. 

Brandon Marshall had seven catches for 98 yards while Anthony Fasano had three catches for 60 yards. 

Vontae Davis and Karlos Dansby both had interceptions. 

For Washington Rex Grossman was his usual self, going 21 of 32 for 215 yards, no touchdowns and two picks. 

The Redskins as a team failed to run the ball with Torian running the ball 11 times for 20 yards. Roy Helu did a bit better as he ran the ball six times for 41 yards. 

Former 'Cane Leonard Hankerson was Washington's lone bright spot, as he had eight catches for 106 yards. 

Miami will win their second consecutive game and move up to 2-7 while Washington slips to 3-6. 

Thanks for reading, see you guys next week when the Bills take on the Dolphins.

Washington just missed another field goal and now with less than three minutes left, Miami just has to run out the clock in order to leave with their second consecutive victory. 

This game would've been a lot more interesting had Beck been the starting quarterback for the Redskins. 

The results would've likely been the same, but at least the redemption storyline would've been in play, and who knows, it probably would've inspired Beck and the Redskins to come out and fight harder. 

It's now been two weeks since Miami allowed a touchdown, which is great news for their defense. Meanwhile Moore has been exceptional the last two weeks in orchestrating the offense. 

I still say don't get any ideas of Moore being the long-term solution at starter, but who knows, he's been fantastic. 

Next week the Dolphins will host the Buffalo Bills, who are getting demolished in Dallas as we speak by the score of 44-7. 

That Bills game might be more winnable than you think.

Grossman telephoned an interception to Karlos Dansby. 

Rex only looked at Gaffney, and Dansby saw it coming. 

Now if Miami gets a touchdown on this drive, this game is over. 

I don't see the Redskins getting a touchdown at all today. They can't run, and while they can pass, Rex is going to find a way to screw it up. 

That last drive was Washington's best chance. 

Meanwhile using a great mix of run and pass, Miami has managed to chew up the field, and the clock. 

The drive ended with a Reggie Bush end-around that leads to a 18 yard touchdown run to give the Dolphins the touchdown that puts the final nail in the coffin. 

Miami leads 20-9 with 6:07 left in the game. 

Nobody wants to win this game. I mean nobody.

Well the Dolphins likely want to win it but they just can't. I guess they were only good for one good game this season. 

But Washington just looks lost. Where are some of these Grossman passes going? 

Yikes, I know this is unprofessional to say but, this game, and these two teams, stink.

A muffed punt return by Miami now, no surprise. 

Look, if you want to watch a great Dolphins-Redskins game, watch Super Bowl VII. 

Actually the best game, despite the fact that the Dolphins lost, was Super Bowl XVII. 

Those are two great football games between two great football teams. 

This one though, a stinker. 

I'm missing the days of Shula vs. Gibbs. *sigh*

The longer this game goes on, the more I'm convinced that Miami is going to find a way to blow it. 

Miami has had yet to allow a touchdown so far and lead 13-9, but if any team knows how to blow a game, its Miami. 

Especially if that game is at home. 

By the way, Rex Grossman played for the Gators and played in a Super Bowl and Orange Bowl at Sun Life Stadium. 

Why not honor him? 

Yes, I'm being facetious, but that's what bad football games between two bad teams does to me, I get bored, I get sarcastic, and I get a little ornery, please bare with me. 

Miami leads 13-9 with 4:59 left in the third quarter. 

Now let's prepare for the Redskins touchdown. 

Moore fumbles as he's sacked, thus setting up the 'Skins deep within Miami territory. 

But Washington again is having problems converting and now face third and goal at the Miami five.

This came after a holding penalty on Williams pushed the 'Skins back to the Miami 20. 

Miami's defense holds though, and Graham Gano hits a 23 yard field goal to pull within one. 

Miami leads 10-9 with 10:43 left in the third quarter. 

Typical Dolphins.

Running the clock out when they have two timeouts and more than a minute left with a chance to score. 

We know how this usually ends, not well for Miami. They're only up four at halftime and they left yet another scoring opportunity go to waste. 

When will Sparano learn? When?

I know, never. 

So at halftime it's 10-6 Miami, meanwhile Indianapolis and Jacksonville are tied at three at the half, while Dallas is beating Buffalo 28-7.

In the second half, the Dolphins have to take advantage of scoring opportunities and not let Washington get back into the game. If you were to ask me, the 'Skins will win this game because the trend is the Dolphins offense is getting worse, while the 'Skins offense is getting more coordinated. 

See you in the second half. 

Washington has a decent drive, however a bad throw by Grossman forces the Redskins to settle for a field goal that Gano just squeaks in. 

Still no touchdowns for Washington, but they're still very much in this game, as with 1:12 left in the first half Miami leads 10-6. 

Let's see how Miami's two minute offense looks.

Vontae Davis apparently didn't spend last night at Club Liv or Prive! 

Davis has so far had a great game getting some timely hits and good coverage, now he has an interception that he returned into Washington territory. 

What will this eventually lead to? 

No not in the future I mean on this drive?

Wouldn't it be interesting if Vontae's interception lead to a Brandon Marshall touchdown?

Would they yell at each other and almost fight then?

Should I credit Brandon Marshall for that Davis interception?

Well it looks like the interception will lead to three points, if Carpenter can hit this 49 yard field goal. 

He can't, it goes left, just like Graham Ganoe's Field Goal from the same spot.

So to answer your question, the Dolphins can't capitalize on Davis' interception, still lead 10-3. 

Miami is driving to begin the second quarter, and are deep within Redskins territory. 

Ryan Kerrigan with a helmet to helmet hit on Daniel Thomas gets himself a personal foul penalty and gives Miami a first and goal at the nine. 

Moore dumps off a pass to Reggie, who gains a yard as the play was snuffed out the whole time. 

That's followed by another dump off pass to Reggie, who gets it closer to the goal line, this time to about the three. 

Third and goal for the 'Phins, plenty of options here. Well if they were a competent team there would be plenty of options, instead they tried a fade-out to Marshall that he has no shot of. 

Miami kicks the field goal to go up 10-3, and they play that stupid Jimmy Buffett "Fins" remix that Dolphins fans seem to hate more than the Jets and Pats combined (not that I blame them). 

That drive was as offensively challenged as you would expect from the Miami Dolphins. 

Facing third down and 31, I really wouldn't have minded if the 'Phins would've just run it and set up a decent punt for Fields, he's the best punter in the NFL, you're safe with him. 

I know I said the Dolphins have to take more risks, but there's a time, and a place.

That wasn't the time or place, they were up 7-0, just run it, then punt it to set up the field position battle.

Don't make Matt Moore throw a risky pass like he just did that was intercepted.  

But wow, Washington is terrible, on third and goal on the ensuing drive, Torrain gets a touchdown, but it's nullified by a field goal.

So now Washington is back to the 'Phins 12 yard line, let's see what they do.

Call a time out, smart. The crowd was getting loud, there was confusion, timeout is probably the best thing in that situation.

So let's set this up again: third down and goal for Washington at the 11, Grossman takes the snap, passes it to Roy Halu, so now Washington will settle for the field goal.

This one is up and good, and now the Dolphins lead 7-3 with 43 seconds left in the first quarter. 

Paul Soliai continues to show his uselessness by getting a roughing the passer penalty that put the Redskins into Miami territory. 

Now Washington is inside the 30 after a pass from Grossman to his former Gator teammate Jabbar Gafney. 

Later in the drive, Jared Odrick ended it with a sack, followed by a Pee-Wee Herman dance. 

Ganoe to attempt the field goal, and it never had a chance as it goes wide left. 

*Does the Jared Odrick Pee-Wee Herman Dance*

Redskins go three and out to start their first drive, Miami will take over at the Washington 45 thanks to a good punt return by Davone Bess. 

Of course I now wonder if Bush would've taken it to the house...wait, the wildcat?

Ladies and gentlemen, the Wildcat has made it's first appearance of the 2011 season, and the play came close to working, however Marshall dropped it despite the timing of the play being disrupted by the bobble earlier in the play. 

So apparently the wildcat didn't leave with Dan Henning, oh well. 

Marshall does redeem it with a 25 yard reception, and that's another (the first) MIAMI DOLPHINS....

FIRST DOWN!

That's followed by a bubble screen to Marshall which the 'Skins defense snuffs out very quickly. I saw that coming!

Reggie gets the handoff the next play and continues his performance from the last two weeks getting it inside the 10 yard line, third and two for the 'Phins.

Moore passes it to Bush on third and two and gets the first down at the Washington five. 

That's followed by another attempt at trickeration by Daniel Thomas, doesn't work though, but it does draw a horse collar tackle penalty on Perry Reilly. 

Now it's first and goal inside the three, and they go to Reggie Bush who's stopped at the line of scrimmage yet manages to still gain about a yard. 

Bush also managed to lose his shoe. It's like the other one, but not really, its like his twin but its not evil (Forgetting Sarah Marshall reference). 

Miami calls a timeout to figure out how to screw up scoring in the red zone.

Coming back from the timeout, the Dolphins run Reggie on a sweep to the left, and Bush scores easily.

Just as important, what's the beautiful song I hear from the Sun Life Stadium loudspeakers?

Miami has the Dolphins, the greatest football team.
We take the ball from goal to goal like no one's ever seen
We're in the air and on the ground we're always in control
And when you say Miami, you're talking Super Bowl.

They brought the song back! Thank you Miami Dolphins for finally listening to your fans!

Dolphins lead 7-0! 

Beautiful Miami day, 'Phins win the toss, will defer to the second half, Carpenter to kick off. 

This will be a good game, not the best of the week, but pretty good. 

And a way we go!

Grossman will start for the Redskins today.

Miami and Washington are division rivals in every sport except the NFL. 

In baseball the Marlins and Nationals rivalry is feisty even though neither team has come close to competing. 

A Heat-Wizards game is always entertaining even when either team is terrible. 

And the Caps and Panthers are competing for first place in the NHL's Southeastern division right now. 

(Just soak that one in for a second, the Florida Panthers are competing for first place.)

But Dolphins-Redskins, both teams are in different divisions, and they only play every four years. They have met in the Super Bowl twice, where it's tied at one, but they don't play often. 

Enough of that though, here's this afternoon's injury report.

Here's Washington's injuries:

Now here's a look at Miami's injury report:

Also of note, the Washington Redskins will start Rex Grossman at quarterback instead of John Beck. So much for this article that I wrote last week. Grossman went 3-2 as the Redskins quarterback to start the season.
