OLD TIMERS LEAGUE: The E P I C in Miami (Week 10)

THE E P I C in MIAMI
MiaMi Dolphins (5-3) vs. San Diego Chargers (8-0)

On November 19, 2010, the San Diego Chargers and Miami Dolphins are to meet in their 1st match-up in the regular season, at Dolphins Stadium in Miami, Florida. With the calendar inching closer to their confrontation, the coaches of the Dolphins acknowledged concern.

Dolphins coach Don Shula wondered if his team could stop San Diego's prolific offense, which had broken a slew of single-season records, Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers is set to break records this year in passes, completions and passing yards, while their running backs are earning recognition. Additionally, three different receivers are expected to finish with at least a thousand yards, and Chargers tight end Antonio Gates is the best tight end in the league.

"We have to make them earn it and make big plays on their own," Shula was quoted stressing in a piece by the St. Petersburg Times. "Rivers has that great rhythm, taking five steps back and then reading the defense and throwing the ball. What we have to do is destroy that rhythm, get a hand in his face, put some pressure on him."

Dolphin coaches were right in their worries. The Dolphins' were in fact unable to disrupt the rhythm of their previous two opponents, division rivals Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets. "We cannot afford to allow history to repeat itself" Shula said. "In 1995 they took a one point lead with 1 minute left and we end up missing a game winning field goal. We need to execute".

By the end of this game, you can expect: both quarterbacks to break previous records, a high scoring affair, and one of the greatest regular season games of all time.

A classic that will later be remembered as the "E P I C in Miami".
