Sports Network | October 05, 2008
Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Ronnie Brown ran for 125 yards and a touchdown, leading the Miami Dolphins to a 17-10 victory over the San Diego Chargers at Dolphin Stadium.
Chad Pennington completed 22-of-29 passes for 228 yards with a score for the Dolphins (2-2), who were coming off a bye and proved that their stunning 38-13 victory at New England two weeks ago was no fluke.
Miami has won two in a row to eclipse its win total from all of last season. The Dolphins were just 1-15 last year and opened the 2008 campaign with consecutive losses to the New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals, but the team has come back with emphatic wins over last year's AFC Championship Game participants.
Ricky Williams added 39 yards rushing as the Dolphins racked up 167 yards on the ground and 390 overall. The Miami defense countered by holding San Diego's vaunted rushing attack to just 60 yards.
LaDainian Tomlinson mustered just 35 yards on 12 carries for the Chargers (2-3), who had won two in a row after opening the campaign with a pair of losses. Philip Rivers connected on just 13-of-28 throws for 159 yards with a touchdown in defeat.
The Chargers managed only 202 total yards and 10 first downs.
