Week 3 vs. MIA

Passing: 3 - 4, 25 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT

Rookie backup QB Kevin O'Connell filled in for Matt Cassel late in the game. Although his body of work was small and it came at a time when the Dolphins defense was much more concerned with the victory celebration, O'Connell completed 75% of his passes and looked decisive. His yards per attempt clocked in at 6.3 and while it wasn't enough to cause a QB controversy, the rookie showed he could prove to be a worthy option should Cassel continue to struggle.
