Dolphins edge Saints

Thu 28th, August 2008

New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - Chad Henne's eight-yard touchdown pass to Sean Ryan late in the second quarter was the difference, as the Miami Dolphins clipped the New Orleans Saints, 14-10, in the exhibition finale for both clubs.

Henne completed 16-of-20 passes for 137 yards and threw an interception. Chad Pennington made a cameo for the Dolphins (3-1), connecting on 2-of-4 pass attempts for 27 yards. Ronnie Brown rushed for 47 yards on 12 carries, including a touchdown, and Ricky Williams ran the ball twice for only two yards.

Mark Brunell threw for only 39 yards on 6-of-9 passing and one touchdown, while Deuce McAllister amassed 30 yards on the ground for New Orleans (2-2).

Martin Gramatica put New Orleans on the board in the first quarter with a 40- yard field goal, then Brunell's two-yard touchdown pass to Lance Moore in the early stages of the second stanza gave the home team a 10-0 lead.

Miami, though, trimmed the deficit on Brown's one-yard touchdown run with 4:09 to go in the frame, and pulled ahead when Henne hooked up with Ryan in the waning moments of the first half.

The Dolphins will open their 2008 campaign with a home date against Brett Favre and the Jets on September 7, while the Saints begin by hosting the division rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers the same day.

Where the players come to play and STAY.
