Who has the edge? Dolphins vs. Ravens, two teams vying for midseason turnarounds

Here’s a look at how the Miami Dolphins (2-6) and Baltimore Ravens (2-5) match up in six key areas ahead of Thursday night’s Week 9 game at Hard Rock Stadium (8:15 p.m., Amazon Prime Video, CBS-4): When the Dolphins run: Miami showed its greatest commitment to the run all season in Sunday’s 34-10 win at the Atlanta Falcons with 37 rushing attempts, and it produced a season-high 141 rushing yards. All three running backs were incorporated from the start. De’Von Achane rushed for 67 yards on 18 carries. Rookie Ollie Gordon II had 46 yards on 10 attempts and was big in extending drives in...

Winderman’s view: Heat again fast, furious, fun, this time in rout of Hornets

MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Tuesday night’s 144-117 victory over the Charlotte Hornets: – There is playing at pace. – And there is winning at pace. – Plenty of NBA teams have pushed and passed the ball at a rapid rate. – Few have achieved a significant level of success. – So that makes this sample size nothing but a sample size. – Perhaps with the impending western swing to offer more significant answers. – Considering the competition includes the Spurs, Lakers, Clippers and Nuggets. – Still, what we’ve witnessed this first week makes the Heat something they...

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson expected to play Thursday vs. Dolphins

Monday’s injury report was just an estimation following a walk-through practice to kick off a truncated week, but it portrays a Ravens team whose stars are getting healthier entering Thursday’s matchup against the 2-6 Dolphins. Lamar Jackson was listed as a full participant on Monday, one day after the quarterback missed his third consecutive game with a hamstring injury, and John Harbaugh said after Monday’s practice that he expects Jackson to play against Miami. Left tackle Ronnie Stanley, linebacker Teddye Buchanan and cornerbacks Nate Wiggins and T.J. Tampa were listed as limited....

Winderman’s view: Jaquez again an example of efficient versatility in Heat victory

MIAMI – Observations and other notes of interest from Sunday night’s 115-107 victory over the New York Knicks: – This Jaime Jaquez Jr. thing is real. – Cast one moment Sunday at power forward. – Another at point guard. – Versatility on demand. – And efficient versatility. – He has made it very easy at the start of this season to forget who he is not. – (Enough about the 3s.) – (And enough about the comparisons to Jimmy Butler.) – He has made it about what he stands as. – An embraceable attacking presence. – The very type of energy this roster and this system needs. – Of all the factors in...

Heat race to 115-107 victory over Knicks in home opener behind Powell’s 29

MIAMI — The brutal opening schedule for the Miami Heat? So far more than under control. First a competitive loss in Orlando. Then a record-setting blowout victory in Memphis. And then Sunday at Kaseya Center, a 115-107 smackdown of the rival New York Knicks in the home opener. At 2-1 with the Charlotte Hornets up next at home on Tuesday night, the Heat continue to evolve with their running game even as they play in the absence of sidelined All-Star guard Tyler Herro. “There was a competitive spirit from our guys,” coach Erik Spoelstra. “Guys are fulling committing to that, our collective...

Chris Perkins: Dolphins’ run defense made plays, and good things followed

ATLANTA — If you knew a few days ago that one team, either the Miami Dolphins or Atlanta Falcons, would rush for 141 yards and that same team would hold its opponent to 45 yards rushing you’d have bet every dollar you had that it’d have been the Falcons producing the good statistics. But it wasn’t the Falcons that did the damage Sunday, it was the Dolphins. Stopping the run was absolutely huge. Stopping the run led to the Dolphins playing their best game of the season in a 34-10 blowout win over the Falcons. “Monumental,” is how coach Mike McDaniel described that aspect of the game. ...

Mark Fletcher Jr. scores three times in third quarter as No. 9 Hurricanes pull away from Stanford

MIAMI GARDENS — The Hurricanes’ run game had been sleepy the last two games. Mark Fletcher Jr. woke it up. The junior running back rushed for 106 yards and a career-high three touchdowns to lead the No. 9 Hurricanes (6-1, 2-1 ACC) to a 42-7 win over Stanford (3-5, 2-3 ACC) at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday. Miami got off to a slow start in the win, looking less like the team that won its first five games and more like the one that lost to Louisville last week. The Hurricanes moved down the field on their first drive, but Carter Davis missed a field goal at the end. Stanford got on the board...

Horvath runs for four TDs, Navy outscores FAU 42-32 for program-record-tying 10th straight win

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Blake Horvath rushed for four touchdowns, Coleman Cauley forced two big turnovers, and Navy scored 21 points in the fourth quarter to hold off Florida Atlantic 42-32 on Saturday night, extending the Midshipmen’s win streak to a program-tying 10. Navy (7-0, 5-0 American Conference) last won 10 straight in 1959-60 and is 7-0 for the first time since ’78. Horvath scored on a pair of 7-yard runs in the first half when Navy took a 21-13 lead. After Alex Tecza scored from the 1 in the fourth quarter, Horvath added 19- and 31-yard TDs following a forced fumble and an...

Winderman’s view: Heat go big, but also learn big things about rotation in rout of Grizzlies

MEMPHIS – Observations and other notes of interest from Friday night’s 146-114 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies: – This wasn’t as much about a really big thing as it appeared at the outset. – Yes, Kel’el Ware was in the starting lineup alongside Bam Adebayo. – And, yes, that had Nikola Jovic playing off the bench. – But what it did was balance the rotation. – Davion Mitchell has proven a capable playmaker with the first unit. – But Dru Smith isn’t that with the second unit. – This way, Jovic gets to orchestrate, without also having to be deferential to Adebayo. – Remember, this all will...

Heat off to the races in high-octane 146-114 domination of Grizzlies

MEMPHIS – The expiration date of Miami Heat plans to play at pace typically is somewhere along the lines of the first week of the season. Bully Ball-or-bust has been the touchstone for so long, anything else seems out of character. And then came Friday night and Erik Spoelstra’s team was nothing short of a perpetual motion machine in what evolved into a resounding 146-114 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies at FedExForum, the third-highest-scoring game in the franchise’s 38 seasons. There were 44 points in the first quarter. Then 86 at halftime. This wasn’t just shots falling at high clip,...
