QB Harrington was hot in the first half. He finished the game 26 of 42 for 254 yards with a TD and an INT. The Dolphins did not have any running game so it was all on him. He played well aside from his awful INT which luckily resulted in only 3 points for Minnesota. B+
RB Ronnie had n-o-w-h-e-r-e- to run - zero room, He barely got to positive yardage, finishing with 2 yards on 12 carries. The Vikings D is the best in the league vs the run, but this was too much. He also fumbled inside the Vikings 5, ouch ! F
WR They had a solid game. Booker led the way with 84 yards on 6 catches. Chambers also had 6 but for only 44 yards. McMichael and Welker had 4 receptions each and Peele got his first TD. B-
OL They are playing better since LJ Shelton moved to RG and McIntosh was moved to LT. The pass protection was good but the Dolphins couldn't run block period. There was just no room to run. C-
LB Zach assisted on a million tackles. But the run stopping in the first half was not clicking. The did manage to stop Minnesota when needed and played well overall. Pope played well in place of the injured Crowder when called upon. B
DL The D-line was not good in the first half but huge in the second. All of them played well, Holiday, Roth, Carter and Taylor. Taylor had 2 forced fumbles, one returned by Miami for a TD, a sack and an INT returned for a TD... Enough said. A-
Secondary A very good game by the secondary. Bell was great again, he had a fumble recovery. Very good game all around. Brad Johnson's 262 yards when gained mostly on garbage time. Hill had a 48 yard fumble recovery for a TD that gave Miami the lead. A-
Special teams Mare missed a 44 yarder. It did not hurt this time, but still... The Punting game was average and so was the return and coverage game. That missed FG could have really hurt the team. D+
Coaching They started well throwing the ball but they could not run the ball all day. The defense was brilliant in the second half. A solid game but now they ghave a very short 4 day week to prepare for the Lions. B+
