Greg Cote: Dolphins, Huntley hit new low, scoring woes deepen in home loss to Titans
MIAMI — Where did it go? It is still out there, ostensibly, for all to see. But it has all but disappeared.
It is missing in action, although there isn’t much of that anymore from the Miami Dolphins offense.

DETROIT — The Seahawks left Ford Field with a 42-29 loss and wondering about a two-point play they didn’t get.

Offensive futility continued even with new starting QB as Dolphins drop third in a row in loss to Titans
MIAMI — New quarterback. Same result.
The Miami Dolphins hoped recently-acquired former Pro Bowl quarterback Tyler Huntley could inject some life into the team’s anemic offense.

Huntley found the end ...Read more
Mark Bradley: At 2-2, the Falcons' glass is more than half-full
ATLANTA — The Falcons need not – and will not – apologize. After the Week 1 fizzle against Pittsburgh, 0-4 seemed more likely than 2-2. But here they sit, having endured four games over various days and times and networks, all decided by one-score margins. Here they sit, and they’re in decent company.
Other 2-2 NFC teams: San Francisco,...Read more
