MIAMI (AP) – Two-time Pro Bowler Brandon Marshall is looking the part for the Miami Dolphins.
Marshall caught 10 passes for 166 yards and a score Sunday night, keeping the Dolphins in the game until the final seconds of their 31-23 loss to the New York Jets.
Even for a running team like the Dolphins, Marshall offers an irresistibly inviting target. They threw to him 17 times, while running backs Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams combined for only 18 carries.
It suggests a transition to a more balanced attack for Miami.
The question going forward, starting with next Monday night’s game against New England, is whether opponents will put a priority on stopping Marshall or Miami’s stout ground game.
