APFormer Miami coach Don Shula and six of his ’72 players, all members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, served as honorary captains and took part in the coin toss. The perfect-season Dolphins were in town this weekend for their 35-year reunion.
“I talked to coach Shula, and I told him we would win,” Miami defensive end Jason Taylor said. “I’m glad we did. I can’t lie to coach Shula.”
For much of the gray afternoon, the situation looked grim. As usual, the Dolphins squandered plenty of chances.
Lorenzo Booker tripped at the 10-yard with no one in front of him following a reception, and Miami settled for a field goal. On a subsequent possession, Lemon stepped out of bounds on third down for a 7-yard loss that took Miami out of field goal range.
And as usual, it seemed the Dolphins couldn’t catch a break. When Ted Ginn Jr. appeared to get hit before the ball arrived on a 41-yard pass into end zone, there was no interference call.
“It felt like our team was cursed,” Camarillo said.
But the game began to turn when Taylor blocked a 50-yard field goal attempt by Stover on the final play of the first half, keeping the Ravens’ lead at 13-3.
The Dolphins shut down Baltimore for most of the second half, and the offense began to show a rare spark. Lemon finished 23-for-39 for 315 yards and improved to 1-5 lifetime as a starting quarterback.
His final completion was Miami’s longest play this season.
“It got a little dicey there at the end,” Taylor said. “Thank God for Camarillo.”
Notes: Taylor played wide receiver in two goal-line situations. Lemon threw to him once in the end zone and Taylor had the ball in his hands, but it was knocked away. ... Miami had the ball for more than 22 minutes in the third and fourth quarters. ... The Ravens fell to 0-4 at Dolphin Stadium.
