The Miami Dolphins hope that playing at home could carry them to victory against the visiting Tennessee Titans in the ongoing National Football League season on November 14.
The Dolphins are now in dire need of a victory to improve their 4-4 win-loss record and get a slot in the NFL playoffs and even play in the Super Bowl.
Getting their fifth win in the current NFL season will not a walk in the park since the Titans is a tough team with a 5-3 record.
Despite its home-arena advantage, the Dolphins are the underdog in the game against the Titans who is expected to beat them in-front of their fans.
To boost its chances against the Titans, the Dolphins management has promoted back-up quarterback Chad Pennington to become the team’s starting quarterback from former starter Chad Henne.
Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said their might be a surprise but he beleive it is the right direction to take at the moment to bring back the winning attitude of the team.
Sparano said Pennington and Henne are both great players, but he just thought that at this point, the 11-year NFL veteran is the right person to carry the load for the Dolphins in the 2010 NFL season.
He said Pennington will be the new starting quarterback of the team this year and he is confident he can deliver what Henne had failed to do.
Pennington is very happy with his promotion but said that to get back to the winning groove the team needs to play hard and avoid turnovers and it starts against the Titans.
Henne for his part is dissapointed with the decision of the Dolphins but nonetheless he fully respect it.
He also wish all the best to Pennington, who had been his mentor in the team in his new role for the Dolphins.
Pennington will have his hands full against the Titans who like them is also in desperate need of win to keep their winning momentum this year.
The Titans could avoid an upset if they can play tough defense and have a superb game against the home-team on Sunday.
