In 2008 the Dolphins rode the legs of Ronnie Brown and the Wild-Cat along with the arm of Chad Pennington for a playoff birth under Tony Sparano. It was the last time Miami was able to make the post-season or finish with a winning record.
Tonight with a 34-13 win over the New York Jets, the Dolphins have clinched their first winning season in 8 years. And what a game it was.
After losing Ryan Tannehill to an MCL sprain, Matt Moore stepped in to throw four touchdown passes in the route of the Jets. It was his first start since January of 2012 while playing out the year under Todd Bowles as the interim head coach.
