Game info: 1:00 pm EDT Sun Oct 5, 2008 TV: CBS
The San Diego Chargers head to Miami Gardens, Florida to take on the Dolphins on Sunday, Oct. 5 at 10:00 a.m. PDT. The game marks the beginning of an arduous four-week stretch.
It’s been more than 27 years since the Chargers won a game in Miami and they have never defeated the Dolphins in what is now Dolphin Stadium. The all-time series is tight with Miami holding a slim 13-12 edge, but the Dolphins have won six and a row. The Chargers’ last win in the series was in the 1994 AFC Divisional Playoffs.
With Tomlinson appearing healthier, the Chargers on Sunday will look to snap a six-game losing streak against an upstart Dolphins team that used Brown and some unorthodox offensive formations to earn their biggest win in recent years.
An injured right big toe has slowed Tomlinson some, but he’s coming off his best game of the season. He ran for 106 yards and two touchdowns, including a 41-yard scamper, in San Diego’s 28-18 win over Oakland on Sunday.
Miami, coming off a bye, had an extra week to fine-tune whatever offensive scheme it decides to use. Rest always helps, but the Dolphins hope the layoff didn’t take away any momentum.
