2009 Week One Recap: Miami Dolphins at Atlanta Falcons

The Miami Dolphins' opened their season against the Atlanta Falcons last weekend, and it wasn't pretty.

After turning the ball over just 13 all of the 2008 regular season, the Dolphins picked up where they left off in their Wild Card Round loss to the Baltimore Ravens, turning the ball over a handful of times and giving the ball away in the process.

The schedule won't get easier for Miami, as they'll face Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football Sept. 21.

Until then, here is my video recap of the Dolphins-Falcons game:
