The woes of the Miami Dolphins when playing at home is not about to end in the current National Football League season.
For the fourth time this year, the Dolphins lose their game at their own football arena after they fell to the visiting Chicago Bears to a humiliating 16-0 shutout.
The loss dropped the Dolphins record to 5-5 win-loss record while improving the Bears record to 7-3 in the ongoing NFL season.
The defeat reduces the chance of the Dolphins to enter the NFL playoffs while solidifying the opportunity for an NFL playoff spot of the Bears.
Bears dependable defensive end Julius Peppers was the man of the hour for the winning visiting NFL team by allowing only 187 yards and a single third-down conversion in the game.
Peppers also had three sacks to carry the team to its first shutout victory since Nov. 19, 2006, against the Jets.
Bears star running back Matt Forte, also had a great game for his team in their victory by carrying 25 times for 97 yards and a score for the Bears, who converted 10 of 18 third-down situations and controlled the ball for nearly 38
minutes.
The Bears imposed a stone-wall defense in the game to topple the injury riddled Dolphins team in-front of its own fans.
The continued misfortune of the Dolphins while playing at home had been greatly attributed to the various injuries suffered by the key players of the team including the team’s top two quarterbacks Chad Pennington and Chad Henne.
Tasked to replace the injured quarterbacks, third-string quarterback of the Bears Tyler Thigpen failed to deliver in the game as he experienced six sacks in his first NFL start since 2008, which lead to their loss.
Thigpen is the 15th quarterback to start for the Dolphins since Dan Marino.
Dolphins coach Tony Sparano is sad with their loss but he remains confident his team can still bounce back and have a banner 2010 NFL season.
Sparano said if his team can improve its play this year they more chances of getting more wins and become successful this year.
