From today's MMQB:

Defensive Player of the Week Joey Porter, LB, Miami.
Two weeks after mouthing off and then not showing up against New England, and one week after being benched against Tampa Bay, Porter came up very big in the trend-setting first half Thursday night in Charlotte. I don't pretend to know what sets Porter afire, but he brought it big-time in this game.

On the first series against the Dolphins, Jake Delhomme went back to pass on third-and-goal from the seven. A Porter sack forced a Carolina field goal. In the second quarter, trying to drive to shave a 7-3 Miami lead, Delhomme was sacked by Porter on another third down. Two minutes later, Miami scored to make it 14-3 at the half. For the game, Porter had eight tackles, the two sacks and another quarterback pressure. Say what you want about him, but Porter seems to thrive on being in the eye of the storm.

Just because it makes you feel good:

7. I think you have to sit Mark Sanchez, Rex Ryan. The game's overwhelming for him right now. His last pick Sunday in Foxboro was just plain stupid, if not panicky. Time for Kellen Clemens.

Probably the best story is on the last page of the article. King and Tony Dungy recount his situation in 1989, highlighted by Dungy nearly joining Parcells' staff, and the path his career might have taken as a result. Both sides wanted it.

Dungy says he thinks about it all the time. King thinks Dungy regrets it.

Make sure you read that one.

Miami being 13 in the fine 15 was pretty nice to see as well. Even if the article did take the high down a little bit.

I'd say Dungy landed on his feet pretty good.
