MIAMI -- With each team scoring on its first possession of the second half, it seems more and more as if whichever team has the ball last is going to win.

The Dolphins, trailing at halftime, 17-14, took the lead by taking the kickoff and driving 82 yards to the go-ahead touchdown, 21-17, the score coming on a 2-yard pass from Chad Pennington to fullback -- and Dartmouth grad -- Casey Cramer.

The Patriots then came right back and regained the lead by driving 78 yards in 11 plays, capped by a perfectly-thrown, 8-yard lob from Matt Cassel to Randy Moss.

That marked the sixth lead change in the game.

The Pats jumped out to a 3-0 lead, scoring on their first possession, then fell behind, 7-3. They went back on top, 10-7, on the first play of the second quarter, when Cassel scrambled 8 yards for a touchdown.

Pennington answered by scoring from 7 yards out on a 72-yard drive that gave Miami a 14-10 lead with 5:05 'til halftime.

That was enough time for New England to once again take the lead, driving 63 yards in 6 plays -- the last a 25-yard, catch-and-run by Moss.

Cassel finished the first half with 18 completions in 25 attempts, good for 205 yards and a TD, with one interception.

Unfortunately for the Pats, that pick led to a Miami touchdown. The Dolphins also scored a TD after New England RB Sammy Morris fumbled the ball away at the Miami 28 early in the second quarter.

While the Pats had two turnovers in the first half, which Miami turned into 14 points, the Dolphins had none.
