The Miami Dolphins won against Atlanta Falcons 27-23, Sunday, at Sun Life Stadium.
Atlanta Falcons receivers Julio Jones and Roddy White are active for Sunday's game at Miami after being listed as questionable this week.
The undefeated Miami Dolphins are confident, yet cautious, knowing that sustaining their early success likely won't be easy over the next three games.
Miami will be trying to equal the franchise's best start in 11 seasons against Atlanta Falcons in Sunday's home opener. However, because injuries are part of the game, there's no shortage of banged up Fins heading into week 3.
The Miami Dolphins will be without a huge piece in the middle of its defense when the Atlanta Falcons come to town on Sunday.
The Miami Dolphins are riding high after a 2-0 start ahead of the team's home opener on Sunday. But there's at least one area where the Dolphins need to make some major improvement: protecting quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
There was a major addition to the injury list Wednesday afternoon for the Miami Dolphins: quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
The Atlanta Falcons will visit Sun Life Stadium for the Miami Dolphins home opener this Sunday, but will be without two key defensive contributors.
Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland made getting after quarterbacks a priority in the offseason with multiple acquisitions. So far, the plan is working, but a different problem could sack the Fins' potential special season.
The Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars are on opposite ends of the state and both are going in opposite directions in the NFL.
The Miami Dolphins finished off the Indianapolis Colts in a fitting fashion for a team built to rush the quarterback, by sacking Andrew Luck on fourth down.
Ryan Tannehill threw for 319 yards and one touchdown Sunday, and the Dolphins defense held off yet another Colts' comeback bid for a 24-20 victory.
After reporting 10 players in this week's injury report, not only will the Miami Dolphins have to contend with Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts, but also plenty of aching bodies.
It was a good start for the Miami Dolphins to open the season 1-0 for only the second time since 2005, but it was not so good for defensive tackle Randy Starks.
After a victory, you'd think every player on the Miami Dolphins would be happy about the performance. That wasn't the case for the Fins' $60 million man, wide receiver Mike Wallace.
Ryan Tannehill passed for 272 yards and a touchdown, leading the Miami Dolphins to a season-opening 23-10 win Sunday over the Cleveland Browns, who fell to 1-14 in Week 1 since 1999.
They were the "other" rookie quarterbacks last season. Maybe it's Brandon Weeden and Ryan Tannehill's turn to shine.

After four consecutive losing years, the franchise's longest such skid since the 1960s, the Dolphins should be more fun to watch in 2013.
For the first time in many years, the Miami Dolphins have confidence in their quarterback heading into the regular season. And other than New England Patriots legend Tom Brady, the Fins have the best quarterback in the division.
The Miami Dolphins are just 1-2 in the 2013 preseason, not that it counts for anything. Fins fans can be happy about several areas of the team including quarterback and defense, but between the running game and the team's inability to score in the red zone, there's plenty left to fix.
The Miami Dolphins' first-team offense started strong and finished fast. The in-between needed work.
The Fins' red zone offense had plenty of plays inside the Bucs' 20-yard line and even though the starters finally produced a touchdown in the red zone, it wasn't enough as Tampa Bay defeated Miami, 17-16.
On paper, it's an impressive array of speed (Mike Wallace) consistency (Brian Hartline and Brandon Gibson) and potential mismatches (Dustin Keller). But there have been countless NFL teams that looked great on paper, but never could translate the talent onto the field. For the Fins, the key will be forming a bond between the new players, like Wallace and Gibson, and Ryan Tannehill.
