Today at 1 PM Eastern time on CBS your Miami Dolphins look to defend their playoff hopes against the Baltimore Ravens at Sunlife Stadium. Offensively the key to the game will be whether or not we can exploit the absence of Haloti Ngata in the middle of their defensive line. Lamar Miller will most likely need to have a solid day to give us a chance. If the run game gets going their secondary is so bad it will allow us to exploit their weakness on the back end in the passing game. Defensively we simply need to find a way to limit Forsett while not allowing the deep pass by Flacco. Sounds easier than it probably is. All I know is today we win.

Greg Camarillo went 64 yards for a touchdown in overtime after catching a pass from Cleo Lemon to give Miami a 22-16 victory. Lemon ended up with 315 passing yards that day, the most ever by a Dolphins quarterback against the Ravens. SERIES TREND: Unfortunately, the 2007 game is the last time the Dolphins have beaten Baltimore. The Ravens have won the last four meetings, including a 27-9 victory in the 2008 playoffs. The game last year at Sun Life Stadium was the first decided by less than 14 points since that 2007 game. SCOUTING REPORT RAVENS’ RECORD: 7-5 LAST GAME: Lost vs. San Diego, 34-33 OVERVIEW: Two years removed from a Super Bowl title, the Ravens are trying to return to the playoffs despite having had to replace many pieces on their championship defense because of age, injuries and now the four-game suspension imposed on five-time Pro Bowl selection Haloti Ngata. On the other side, the Ravens have regained some balance thanks to the emergence of free agent acquisition Justin Forsett to revive the running game. Even in the passing game, Baltimore now has someone to take some pressure off wide receiver Torrey Smith, veteran Steve Smith Sr., who has experienced a rebirth after a sub-par season with Carolina in 2013. Baltimore finds itself among the six-pack of AFC teams with a 7-5 record but must find a way to bounce back after squandering a late lead to lose at home against San Diego last weekend.

I'm calling it. Two long balls to Wallace for TD's. So, two passes of 25 yards each with roughly 40-50 YAC.
Have not been this excited for a Dolphin game in Decembers since 2008 season ender at the Jets and don't know when I was before then but I know Marino was the QB. Soooooooooo Lets Win this one PHINS!!!
i'm not sure if i ever heard the name andrew catalon before, what a douche effort by CBS sending a garbage crew to this kind of game
Around the country it is barely being televised for some reason. So it isn't shocking. Maybe he won't be a Dolphin hating douche like some of the announcers like Fouts.
i followed this the whole week, he returned to practice on friday but no word yet if he plays, he said he wants to play
Not home today and have to watch online , best options would be appreciated Opened the first , row , site and although I have ad blocker on chrome the pages and pop ups seem to be waiting to ambush. Go Fins !
wow from doubtful to possible playing...don't know if we can trust his ankle, i guess he will be called out soon
End of the day it doesn't matter who suits up for them or us. We have to win regardless. No sympathy wins in the NFL.
@jeffzrebiecsun: Torrey Smith looks very stiff and limp is noticeable. Now standing off to the side while teammates run routes. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk
Clay active. @ArmandoSalguero: Today's inactives: 22 - Taylor 24 - Finnegan 33 - James 56 - Freeny 58 - McCain 75 - Garner 77 - Turner Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk
We cannot let them identify where Brent grimes is gonna line up, Torrey iwas a bit nicked up last week, missed practice time., I would think we let Stanford match up with him.
@RavensInsider: Ravens scratch Michael Campanaro, Jah Reid, Gino Gradkowski, Rashaan Melvin, Terrence Brooks, DeAngelo Tyson, Crockett Gillmore @RavensInsider: Terrence Cody active for the first time this season @chrisperk: WR Brian Hartline warming up on field. Shows no signs of knee bruise that made him miss 2nd half last week. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk
@RavensInsider: 2013 second-round linebacker Arthur Brown is active for third time this season. Had been inactive past few games Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk
@MikePrestonSun: WR Torrey Smith walking gingerly to locker room, will be surprising if he can make it through an entire game. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk
Our run D has faced a lot of fire. But Forsett is banged up and you can assume our front line will have a chip. They are going to attack our ridiculously weak CB position, opposite of Grimey of course.
