Dolphins keen on key match with Patriots
Orlando Sentinel | November 23, 2008
Dolphins cornerback Andre Goodman makes no bones about it. Today's sold-out home game against the New England Patriots is the "biggest" of his seven-year career.

South Florida Sun-Sentinel | November 23, 2008
DOLPHINS RUNNING GAME VS. PATRIOTS RUN DEFENSE Although the Dolphins gashed the Patriots for 216 rushing yards in the first meeting, much of that had to do with the Wildcat ambush, so Bill Belichick's defense will be ready this time. Ronnie Brown was phenomenal in that game with 113 yards, including four rushing TDs and a passing score. Ricky Williams gained 98 yards as well. Despite the recent loss of LB Adalius Thomas, the Patriots haven't given up more than 60 rushing yards in their past two games, thanks in part to blossoming rookie LB Jerod Mayo, who has 85 tackles.
