Brown, D Propel Miami

The Associated Press

Published: October 6, 2008

MIAMI - Ronnie Brown scored the decisive touchdown from the single-wing formation the Dolphins revived two weeks ago, their smothering defense rose to the occasion at the 1-yard line in the fourth quarter, and Miami pulled off its second successive upset by beating San Diego on Sunday.

The single wing was less explosive than in the Dolphins' win at New England, but running back Brown took a direct snap 11 times on running plays that netted 49 yards and Miami's second TD.
Chad Pennington threw for 228 yards and Brown ran for 125, while Miami held LaDainian Tomlinson to 35 yards on 12 carries. The Dolphins stopped Tomlinson for no gain on fourth-and-goal at the 1 in the first minute of the final period.
