Fins on second West Coast trip
This Sunday will mark the Dolphins second trip to the West Coast in the last three weeks. On November 27, they recorded a 33-21 win over the Oakland Raiders at McAfee Coliseum.
This is just the fifth time in Dolphins history and the third time since the 1970 merger that the Dolphins have played two games in Pacific Time Zone over a three-week span or less, and the second straight year in which this has occurred. In each of the previous four times that it happened, the games took place in consecutive weeks.
