<p>Vernon's roughing the passer penalty drew harsh criticism from Titans head coach Ken Whisenhunt who accused him of attempting to injure Marcus Mariota.</p> <p>A low hit that injured the knee of <a href="https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Tennessee Titans</a> quarterback <span>Marcus Mariota</span> drew a fine for <a href="https://www.thephinsider.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Miami Dolphins</a> defensive end <span>Olivier Vernon</span>, which he intends to appeal, <a href="https://twitter.com/ArmandoSalguero/status/656860651869065216">according to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald</a>. The amount for the fine hasn't yet been revealed.</p>
<p>Vernon, 25, was given a roughing the passer penalty for the hit, but it was Titans head coach Ken Whisenhunt's comments after the game that threw the low hit into the spotlight. <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/10/18/9564029/marcus-mariota-injury-dolphins-titans-hit">Whisenhunt said that Vernon intended to hurt Mariota</a> with the blow and called it "bulls*** football" after the game.</p>
<p>The Dolphins pass rusher took to Twitter to refute those accusations:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">I’ve never been a dirty player. I never intended to hurt anyone. I even checked to make sure Marcus was ok. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/mariotagetwellsoon?src=hash">#mariotagetwellsoon</a></p>
— Olivier Vernon (@oliviervernon50) <a href="https://twitter.com/oliviervernon50/status/655916222421204994">October 19, 2015</a>
</blockquote>
<p>
<script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</p>
<p>Titans offensive tackle <span>Taylor Lewan</span> also accused Vernon of attempting to injure Mariota, but the quarterback himself told reporters that <a href="http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/13919112/tennessee-titans-riled-low-hit-marcus-mariota-rip-olivier-vernon-miami-dolphins">he didn't believe it was malicious</a>.</p>

</p>
<p>Mariota's MCL was sprained on the play. Although he didn't leave the game, he fumbled twice after the hit. The rookie quarterback leads the NFL with five fumbles and has been sacked 19 times, the third-highest total in the league. After starting the year with a perfect passer rating in Week 1, his passer rating has declined in each week. Still, he has a 92.6 rating with nine touchdowns and five interceptions.</p>
<p>Vernon was a third-round pick in the 2012 <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft" class="sbn-auto-link">NFL Draft</a> and has 22.5 sacks in 53 career games. He is scheduled to become a free agent after the 2015 season.</p>

<p>Whalen wasn't originally supposed to be the center on the infamous play.</p> <p>As if <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/10/18/9565897/the-colts-ran-what-may-be-the-worst-trick-play-in-nfl-history">the fake punt the Colts attempted to run Sunday night</a> against the <a href="https://www.patspulpit.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Patriots</a> wasn't bad enough, on Tuesday Indianapolis punter <span>Pat McAfee</span> revealed additional details that make the <a href="https://www.stampedeblue.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Colts</a> and head coach Chuck Pagano seem even more foolish.</p>
<p>McAfee was a guest on Indianapolis' <a target="_blank" href="http://www.bobandtom.com/common/page.php?pt=Colts+Punter+Pat+McAfee+Explains+the+Fake+Punt+Play&id=5041&is_corp=0">Q95's <i>Bob and Tom Show</i></a>, where he was asked about the play. In the interview McAfee revealed that <span>Griff Whalen</span>, the player who fielded the snap, hadn't been the one who practiced the fake punt the week before.</p>
<p>"The gunner who became the center all week was (safety) Clayton Geathers," McAfee said via <a target="_blank" href="http://www.colts.com/news/article-1/McAfee-Clarifies-Fake-Punt-Whalen-Wasnt-Original-Center-Explains-Design/a9b75475-9fb8-4692-be8e-83dca04adcc0?sf14332234=1" style="text-decoration: underline; background-color: #ffffff;">the Colts' official website</a>. "Clayton Geathers gets injured in the second quarter. Insert Griff Whalen who had never done it before. So, Griff Whalen is now the new center in a play he's never practiced before."</p>
<p>After the game Sunday night, which the Colts lost 34-27, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/10/19/9570925/chuck-pagano-no-regrets-failed-play-punt-colts-patriots">Pagano explained the play by saying the ball was never supposed to be snapped</a> if the Patriots didn't respond to the Colts' strange formation the way Indianapolis hoped.</p>
<p>"The whole idea there was on fourth-and-3 or less, we shift to an alignment to where we could catch them misaligned," he <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sbnation.com/2015/10/19/9566143/colts-trick-play-explanation-chuck-pagano-patriots" style="background-color: #ffffff;">said</a>. "They tried to sub some people in. Catch them with more men on the field -- 12 men on the field. And if you get a certain look, you have 3 (or) 2 yards to make a play."</p>
<p>This explanation came after NBC's cameras caught him mouthing, "Why'd you snap that?" following the play:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <figure class="e-image">
<img alt=" " data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/iBZ8ZGqobeZubs_DlcLOV7ugTKY=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/4180258/whyyy.0.0.gif">
</figure>
</p>
<p>Never once did Pagano mention that the player lining up under center during the play was one who had never practiced it before.</p>
<p>McAfee's also elaborated on how the Colts expected to fool the Patriots.</p>
<p>"So, you're trying to manipulate the (receiving team) into thinking they have to sub their defense back on," he said. "We are sprinting to the sideline in hopes to make the other team think we are subbing our offense back onto the field. So, when they think the offense is coming back on the field, your hope is that they think their defense has to come back on the field. As soon as their defense comes back on the field, we snap it, steal 5 yards and we get a first down."</p>
<p>McAfee pointed out that the Colts even had their offense stand on the sideline as if they were about to run back onto the field. This image, via <a target="_blank" href="http://www.colts.com/news/article-1/McAfee-Clarifies-Fake-Punt-Whalen-Wasnt-Original-Center-Explains-Design/a9b75475-9fb8-4692-be8e-83dca04adcc0?sf14332234=1">Colts.com</a>, backs that up:</p>
<p> <figure class="e-image">
<img alt=" " data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/9AnbYeISD-OQwQyKaBtIRsMHzTQ=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/4180286/fake_punt_sideline.0.png">
</figure>
</p>
<p>The problem, according to McAfee, is that Whalen was never informed of what to do if the Patriots decided not to substitute.</p>
<p>"We added something to try and draw them offsides if they don't do their substitution," he said. "Griff never got the heads up this was happening, because it's not in the playbook. Stanford guy, reads the playbook, knows everything he has to do, but if he's not there for an audible that's added, he can't know."</p>
<p>All any of this does is make the play even more baffling. No one looks good here. Not Whalen, not the Colts and certainly not Pagano.</p>

<p>Week 6 is over, and here's what the standings look like. </p> <p>It was an ugly game, but it was enough for the Philadelphia Eagles to take the lead in the NFC East. It's hardly a commanding lead, though. Chip Kelly's team has a tough assignment next week on the road against the Carolina Panthers. These two teams face off again in Week 17, a game that might just end up deciding the division winner.</p>
<p>The Giants aren't out of the race after Monday's ugly loss. They'll play host to the Cowboys and new replacement quarterback Matt Cassel next week, which gives them a chance to get back on top of the standings ... for a week anyway. For Dallas, that game will be a chance to snap a three-game losing streak and tread water while they wait for Tony Romo to get healthy.</p>
<p><b>Panthers own the NFC South</b></p>
<p>Thanks to <span>Cam Newton</span> and <span>Drew Brees</span>, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.catscratchreader.com/">Carolina Panthers</a> have a chance to take control of the NFC South.</p>
<p>After Brees led the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.canalstreetchronicles.com/">New Orleans Saints</a> to a 31-21 upset of the previously unbeaten <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/atlanta-falcons">Atlanta Falcons</a> on Thursday night, Newton threw for 169 yards in the fourth quarter to give Carolina a 27-23 win over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fieldgulls.com/">Seattle Seahawks</a>.</p>
<p>That gives the 5-0 Panthers a half-game lead over 5-1 Atlanta with three straight home games coming up. Granted, one of those games is against the unbeaten <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/">Green Bay Packers</a>, but FiveThirtyEight now gives them a 62 percent chance of winning the division, up from 39 percent after Week 5. Carolina is also up to a 92 percent chance of making the playoffs, second in the NFC to Green Bay's 97 percent.</p>
<p><b><span>Calvin Johnson</span> is an optimist</b></p>
<p>After the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.prideofdetroit.com/">Detroit Lions</a> picked up their first victory of the season, beating the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.windycitygridiron.com/">Chicago Bears</a> 37-34 in an ugly overtime game, Johnson might have gotten a little too excited.</p>
<p>"This is a huge win for us, especially since it was against a divisional opponent," said Johnson, who had 166 yards receiving and a touchdown. "Now we're in decent shape in our division."</p>
<p>As Johnson was saying that, the Packers were in the process of beating the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/san-diego-chargers">San Diego Chargers</a> 27-20 to move to 6-0. With the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.dailynorseman.com/">Minnesota Vikings</a> also winning, the Lions are five games behind Green Bay, 2.5 games behind the Vikings and still a game behind the Bears. On the bright side, they do have the tiebreaker against Chicago!</p>
<p><b>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.milehighreport.com/">Denver Broncos</a> just keep winning</b></p>
<p>Every week, <span>Peyton Manning</span> throws some terrible passes, including an interception or two, and the critics are ready to write off both he and the Broncos. The problem is that, once again, Manning and the Broncos did just enough to beat the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.dawgsbynature.com/">Cleveland Browns</a> 26-23 in overtime and improve to 6-0.</p>
<p>With the Chargers losing to Green Bay and the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.arrowheadpride.com/">Kansas City Chiefs</a> losing to the Vikings, Denver already has a 3.5-game lead over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/oakland-raiders">Oakland Raiders</a>, who took over second place in the division by having a bye while everyone around them lost. The Broncos now have a 94 percent chance of winning the division -- the highest in the NFL.</p>
<p>At this pace, the Broncos might be able to rest Manning for the entire month of December before he has to worry about playing in the postseason.</p>
<p><b><span>Landry Jones</span> keeps the AFC North interesting</b></p>
<p>No, that wasn't East Dillon High's Landry Clarke playing quarterback for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>, it was former Oklahoma Sooner Landry Jones. The 26-year-old made his NFL debut when <span>Mike Vick</span> got hurt, and led the Steelers to a come-from-behind 25-13 upset of the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.revengeofthebirds.com/">Arizona Cardinals</a>.</p>
<p>The surprising win keeps 4-2 Pittsburgh within two games of the unbeaten <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.cincyjungle.com/">Cincinnati Bengals</a>, who beat the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/">Buffalo Bills</a> 34-21. The Steelers can get even closer next week, if they can keep a quarterback healthy long enough to beat the Chiefs while the Bengals are on a bye.</p>

<p>The Colts coach said that all the blame for the bizarre fourth-down play belongs to him.</p> <p>On Monday, Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano stuck by the decision to <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/10/18/9565897/the-colts-ran-what-may-be-the-worst-trick-play-in-nfl-history">call a play</a> that is going to live forever on NFL blooper videos.</p>
<p>"I don't regret the play call," Pagano said. "I obviously didn't do a good enough job of coaching the play, because we were aligned incorrectly, and I didn't communicate well enough with them about what to do if we didn't get the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.patspulpit.com/">Patriots</a> to call a timeout or have too many men on the field. That's all on me."</p>
<p>Pagano <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/2015/10/19/9566143/colts-trick-play-explanation-chuck-pagano-patriots">explained Sunday night</a> how the play was supposed to work:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span>The whole idea there was on fourth-and-3 or less, we shift to an alignment to where we could catch them misaligned. They tried to sub some people in. Catch them with more men on the field -- 12 men on the field. And if you get a certain look, you have three (or) two yards to make a play.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>While wide receiver/punt returner/sudden center <span>Griff Whalen</span> probably didn't realize that the rest of the offensive linemen were lined up 2 yards too deep -- they were 20 yards away, after all -- he should have seen that the Patriots had more than enough players in place to swarm <span>Colt Anderson</span>:</p>
<p> <figure class="e-image">
<img alt=" " data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/hIMQt8Qy17h_IR8d0auHOc7M3N4=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/4175168/epicfail.0.gif">
</figure>
</p>
<p>However, with the play clock running down, Whalen appeared panicked and snapped the ball to an unsuspecting Anderson. He was immediately tackled, and the Patriots quickly turned the ensuing drive into a crucial touchdown.</p>
<p><span>"It's not really up to me," Whalen </span><a href="http://www.patriots.com/news/2015/10/19/colts-postgame-quotes-1018">said Sunday night</a><span>. "Colt has a couple of decisions to make. We'll take a look at the film tomorrow and get it figured out. It was just a miscommunication I think between us and the coaches and everything."</span></p>
<p>That touchdown ended up being the final margin in New England's 34-27 win -- a far cry from the blowout that most people expected.</p>
<p>"I think we showed that we can play with anyone," Pagano said. "That loss last night was more about what we did to ourselves. It is like we say - the enemy is always in your camp, and it is the friendly fire that gets you."</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.stampedeblue.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Colts</a> are 3-3, but 0-3 outside the AFC South. They will get another chance Sunday against a non-divisional opponent when they face the <a href="https://www.canalstreetchronicles.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">New Orleans Saints</a>, who showed signs of life Thursday night with a 31-21 upset of the unbeaten <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/atlanta-falcons" class="sbn-auto-link">Atlanta Falcons</a>.</p>

<p>Mariota was hobbled after the hit by Olivier Vernon.</p> <p><a href="https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Tennessee Titans</a> quarterback <span>Marcus Mariota</span> took a couple of big hits Sunday against the <a href="https://www.thephinsider.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Miami Dolphins</a> and sustained an apparent knee injury. Mariota was sacked by <span>Cameron Wake</span> and took another big hit by <span>Olivier Vernon</span> on the following play. Vernon hit him low and Mariota stayed on the ground, holding his leg.</p>
<p>He was clearly in pain and was limping, but surprisingly, he stayed in the game. He wasn't moving well after that though, and he looked hobbled on the next play. He played the majority of the game, but ultimately left after the penultimate Titans possession. Zach Mettenberger replaced him for the final drive, as the Titans were down 28 points at that stage.</p>
<p>On Monday, Titans head coach Ken Whisenhunt said an <a href="https://twitter.com/Titans/status/656202402404524032">MRI showed it was a sprained MCL for the rookie</a> and that he was able to walk around. After the game on Sunday, Whisenhunt was asked about the low hit following the game, and he wasn't happy:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Whisenhunt low hit on Mariota: "I think it was done with the idea of trying to hurt our QB and that's (bulls---) football." <a href="https://twitter.com/Titans">@Titans</a></p>
— Jim Wyatt (@jwyattsports) <a href="https://twitter.com/jwyattsports/status/655844657155473408">October 18, 2015</a>
</blockquote>
<p>Here's a look at the play that initially hurt Mariota:</p>
<p> <figure class="e-image">
<img alt=" " data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/ubYxthFIBmHLp3-JdZm4zB8ymz0=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/4173750/mariotaknee.0.gif">
</figure>
</p>
<p>Vernon was hit was a roughing the passer penalty and could face a fine later this week. Mariota fumbled the ball twice after the hit.</p>
<p>Mariota was the second overall pick in this year's draft, and he has started every game for the Titans this season. Going into Sunday's game, Mariota had completed 64.1 percent of his passes for 1,020 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions. He's been playing well for Tennessee this season, and any injuries would be a big setback for the Titans.</p>
<p>Mettenberger, a sixth-round pick in 2014, played in seven games as a rookie, completing 107 of 179 passes for 1,412 yards, eight touchdowns and seven interceptions.</p>

<p>Bradford hasn't been much different than Nick Foles, but a game against the Giants could be his time to shine.</p> <p><span>Sam Bradford's</span> time with the <a href="https://www.bleedinggreennation.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Philadelphia Eagles</a> hasn't gotten off to the best start, but after a rough 0-2 record early, he's bounced back with a pair of solid performances to lead the team to a 2-3 record and a chance at the top spot in the NFC East on Monday night.</p>
<p>But even in a 39-17 win over the <a href="https://www.canalstreetchronicles.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">New Orleans Saints</a> and a three-touchdown performance against Washington that included <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/10/4/9450165/sam-bradford-62-yard-touchdown-riley-cooper-eagles">a 62-yard bomb</a> to Riley Cooper, Bradford hasn't yet had the type of game to justify the trade that sent <span>Nick Foles</span> and a second-round pick in the 2016 <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft" class="sbn-auto-link">NFL Draft</a> to the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/st-louis-rams" class="sbn-auto-link">St. Louis Rams</a> for a more expensive and possibly more injury-prone quarterback.</p>
<p>If anything, Bradford has been close to exactly the same quarterback that Chip Kelly sent away to St. Louis in exchange for what he thought was an upgrade, but with fewer wins.</p>

<p>That's not to say the 2-3 record is Bradford's fault. The defense is No. 22 in the NFL and the revamped backfield managed just 70 rushing yards in the first two weeks before finally getting going and averaging 132 yards per game in the last three games.</p>
<p>Even though his last two games showed a lot of good things, he just hasn't yet had a game to announce his arrival as the leader of what looked to be the NFL's most explosive offense in preseason.</p>
<p>Luckily for Bradford, the <a href="https://www.bigblueview.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">New York Giants</a> could help that.</p>
<p>Despite the No. 2 rushing defense in the NFL, the Giants are No. 27 in total yards thanks to a putrid pass defense. New York has given up at least 250 yards passing in each week and will be without <span>Prince Amukamara</span> on Monday night.</p>
<p>While establishing some running room and continuing to establish <span>DeMarco Murray</span> as a threat after signing him to a five-year, $40 million in the offseason is a priority, it will be on Bradford to step out and show he was worth acquiring.</p>

<p>Vick will test his hamstring later in the week.</p> <p><a href="https://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> quarterback <span>Mike Vick</span> will likely be out another week after he left Sunday's game against the <a href="https://www.revengeofthebirds.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Arizona Cardinals</a> with a hamstring injury. He has a "tiny tear" and will test it again Wednesday, but <a href="https://twitter.com/AKinkhabwala/status/656166928017399808">according to Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL Network</a>, Vick doesn't think he'll be ready for the Steelers' Week 7 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.</p>
<p>Vick started the last three games in place of Ben Roethlisberger, who has been out with an MCL injury. There's a chance Roethlisberger could be back to start against the Chiefs, but if he's not ready, the Steelers will turn to third-year quarterback Landry Jones.</p>
<p>Jones was a fourth-round pick by the Steelers in 2013 and had not attempted a regular season pass going into Sunday's game. But he shined in his first real NFL action. The 24-year-old completed 8 of 12 passes for two touchdowns, helping lead the Steelers to a 25-13 win.</p>
<p>Before exiting the game for good, Vick left for a series after he scrambled and went to the ground at the end of his run, taking a hard knee to his helmet from Cardinals linebacker <span>Kevin Minter</span>. His head was pushed into the ground on the hit.</p>
<p>Vick appeared to be taken out of the game by the officials the first time. They can take a player out if they think he might have sustained a head injury. Ed Hochuli appeared to order Vick to the sidelines to be evaluated for a concussion. The training staff did not spend much time looking at him and the Steelers announced he had dirt in his eye.</p>
<p>He was replaced by Jones but then returned on the next series. After a handful of plays, Vick left the game again and was stretching on the sideline.</p>
<p>Vick was playing well coming into the game, completing 63.8 percent of his passes for 365 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. He also had 52 yards rushing. He struggled against the Cardinals, though, with just three completed passes for 6 yards. He added 47 yards on the ground before leaving.</p>

<p>Dan Campbell brought physicality back to the practice field and has the Dolphins playing with energy again.</p> <p>In Dan Campbell's first practice as the interim head coach of the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.thephinsider.com/">Miami Dolphins</a>, he had <a href="http://www.thephinsider.com/2015/10/7/9470533/dolphins-get-physical-at-first-dan-campbell-practice">the team run the Oklahoma drill</a>. In his first game, the Dolphins looked inspired and rejuvenated, dominating the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/">Tennessee Titans</a>, 38-10.</p>
<p>Just two weeks earlier, the Dolphins managed just 226 yards of offense and gave up 425 to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.ganggreennation.com/">New York Jets</a> to seal Joe Philbin's fate, with his firing coming just one day later. In Week 6, the script was flipped on its head and it was the Dolphins with 434 yards while the Titans were held to 299.</p>
<p>Dolphins players say it's because Campbell has the team re-energized. <a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/armando-salguero/article39817497.html">Via Armanda Salguero of the Miami Herald</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to knock anybody, but coach Campbell gets you fired up," said <span>Rishard Matthews</span>, who has unexpectedly become Miami's most explosive receiver. "When he speaks, he gets in your blood and gets your hairs up. You just want to go out there and battle for him."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Just six years ago, Campbell was playing tight end for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.canalstreetchronicles.com/">New Orleans Saints</a>, his final season of an 11-year career in the NFL. Sunday represented a different challenge, altogether:</p>
<p>"I was pretty nervous," <a href="http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/article-1/Campbell-Will-Always-Remember-The-Titans/5cc2148f-2721-4f5c-b3dd-a678a5be124c">Campbell said after the win</a>. "High energy, but I was nervous. I was nervous. I guess it's just a new experience. I don't know if I've had that feeling since I was a player. That was probably the last time I had this bubbling-up feeling. But I know we were ready. I knew the coordinators had a good plan in place and you could see it in the eyes of those guys."</p>
<p>At 2-3, the Dolphins still have some climbing to do and are in the cellar of one of the NFL's best divisions, but aren't out of the postseason race in a conference that features only five winning records.</p>
<p>More performances like the one in Week 6 is a good place to start. The Titans were held to just 63 rushing yards after the Dolphins entered with the No. 32 rushing defense. Four forced turnovers surpassed the three turnovers forced in the first four games of the season combined.</p>
<p>The Titans have been particularly turnover-prone in 2015 and haven't finished a game without a turnover, so the Campbell-led Dolphins were gifted a nice opponent to restart against, but the energy difference was clear. Maybe too much so, with the Titans <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/10/18/9564029/marcus-mariota-injury-dolphins-titans-hit">calling one hit on quarterback Marcus Mariota "bulls***."</a></p>
<p>With the unimpressive <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.battleredblog.com/">Houston Texans</a> traveling to Miami in Week 7, there's plenty of reason to believe the renewed Dolphins could be back to .500 soon.</p>
