Everyone remembers the Wildcat, but Chad Pennington's resurgence in 2008 was amazing to see! He used to be the most accurate passer ever. Dolphins went from 1-15 to 11-5, probably the most ridiculous turnaround ever when you consider how terrible that 2007 roster was.

Rare Kevin O'Connell QB sighting at 12:33. He's now the head coach of the undefeated 4-0 Vikings as of now (2024).

The CBS music will forever get me HYPED.

Crazy how different the nfl looks since just 2008. The formations the players bulky shoulder pads and old school helmets.

[kemptonboy]

I was wondering when the NFL was gonna release this game. The Wildcat is one of the best moments in recent Dolphins history.

[jturner]

One of the rare times a Bill Belicheck team was truly caught off guard.

[joshprice]

its crazy cause now it doesnt look like anything special but i remember seeing this as a kid in 2008 and it felt so new and cool😂 time goes by so fast man

[charlesconner]

Wildcat had the Pats so damn flustered. Wildcat was unstoppable for a while

[LiamDeege]

The 2008 Dolphins are forgotten greatly because of them going one and done.

Ronnie Brown was my first round draft pick this year in fantasy, and everyone called me stupid.... until he had a career year.

[packersauburneric]

Ronnie Brown people forget the former Auburn player was in same backfield as brandon jacobs and Cadillac Williams in college and Auburn in 2005 having 2 first round picks at rb will never happen again in nfl history i guarantee it lol 2 rbs same school top 5 same draft only felix jones and darren McFadden came close

[mariosnumfan]

Think about this for a second. Chad Pennington left the Jets because the team signed the better QB in Brett Favre after the whole retirement/unretirement saga. Pennington joins the Fins, who went 1-15 a year prior; the team had the worst record in the league. The team finished 11-5 and the Jets finished 9-7 with Favre despite a solid 8-3 start. Icing on the top was that Pennington eliminated his former team from playoff contention, and beat the Pats for the division title even with both finishing 11-5. Crazy!

Nice to see a happy moment in phins history, as they're really having a rough go of it right now. It's funny that of all their QBs after marino, it's a one time NY jet that i revere most. Chad was decent, and won the division in his old house. Wish he'd had better luck with the rotator cuff.

Patriots fan here.

This was my first ever live NFL game at an NFL stadium in Gillette Stadium Foxboro Massachusetts. This was the same year Tom Brady tore his ACL. I was 14 at the time and I could not believe what was going on before my eyes. We got smoked that entire game; stadium was so silent you could hear a pin drop!

[Fireyninjadog]

Dolphins last win at foxboro, until that infamous 2019 game, which virtually ended the pats dynasty

[zuupride]

It kind crazy that Calis Campbell was in his 2nd year in the league in 2008

[Phinaddict]

If we would’ve been practicing this since camp, the dolphins could run the wildcat right now with Achane Waddle and hill. This is something we should’ve had as a back up plan knowing we didn’t have a good back up QB.

[blakebrown]

I remembered this game where it was famous for the Dolphins’ use of the “Wildcat” formation, which caught the Patriots off guard and led to a dominant victory 38-13. We watched Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams played really well in this game. The Patriots didn’t know what hit them with their defensive plan. Tom Brady was out with an ACL tear, so Matt Cassel took his place at quarterback that season.🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

[CKpremium]

I was a freshman in high school on the freshman football team when this game was played. Man it blew my mind. Dolphins played perfectly on every side of the ball. Of course the Pats ended up smashing the dolphins 48–28 later that season lol. Brings back memories.

[nickchorizo]

1-15 to 11-5 division champs in one year! RIP Tony Sparano.

Also, Chad Pennington underrated 2000s QB
