He has topped the 300-yard mark in six of his last eight games dating back to a Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field last December. Since the firing of Joe Philbin on October 5, the Dolphins (3-3) have gone from notorious underachievers to contending for their first playoff berth since 2008.
The Saints led by three touchdowns before the Colts managed a first down. Since then I have regularly sold about half the season (making a nice profit during the prime Manning years) after getting in before there was a season ticket waiting list and enjoying a few football at a fraction of the price as a result.
It was a odd afternoon even before the dramatic turnaround. Cousins capped the drive with a 6-yard TD toss to Jordan Reed.

Go back and watch the Chargers, Rams and Cardinals games in 2013, or the weird three-game stretch at the end of 2014 from Cleveland to Dallas.
