Question:
The Dolphins began the 2003 season with a 21-20 loss to the 2003 Houston Texans season, but they rebounded to win four straight games. During a crushing overtime loss at the hands of the 2003 New England Patriots season, Jay Fiedler was injured, forcing newly acquired backup Brian Griese to lead the Dolphins to victory the next week over San Diego. That, however, was Grieses high point, and after a good showing against 2003 Indianapolis Colts season in a losing effort (he threw for 231 yards and a touchdown in the 23-17 Colts win), he struggled against the 2003 Tennessee Titans season, throwing three interceptions in a 31-7 Tennessee win, and was highly ineffective against the 2003 Baltimore Ravens season, managing just 126 yards in a 9-6 overtime win. The Dolphins fell behind to the 2003 Washington Redskins season after Griese threw two interceptions; trailing 20-7, Fiedler came off the bench and led a comeback victory, 24-23. Miami looked like it might rebound thanks to a 40-21 NFL on Thanksgiving Day victory over the 2003 Dallas Cowboys season that took them to 8-4, but two key losses to the 2003 New England Patriots season and the 2003 Philadelphia Eagles season ended Miamis postseason hopes. Miami finished 10-6 after victories over Buffalo and the Jets.

Who did Brian Griese replace?

Answer:
Jay Fiedler


Question:
Still searching for their first win, the Dolphins flew to Lincoln Financial Field for a Week 11 interconference duel with the Philadelphia Eagles.  This game would mark the NFL debut of rookie QB John Beck. After a scoreless first quarter, Miami got the first splash as rookie WR/KR/PR Ted Ginn, Jr. returned a punt 87 yards for a touchdown (the first TD punt return for the Dolphins since 2000).  The Eagles would end the half with kicker David Akers nailing a 34-yard field goal.  In the third quarter, Miami's year-long struggles continued as Philadelphia took the lead with RB Correll Buckhalter getting an 8-yard TD run for the only score of the period.  In the fourth quarter, the Eagles sealed the win with QB A. J. Feeley (a former Dolphin) completing a 4-yard TD pass to WR Jason Avant. With the loss, the Dolphins fell to 0-10, eliminating them from playoff contention.  This would be the first time since the 2001 Detroit Lions (who began their year at 0-12) that a team began a season 0-10.

How many field goals were made?

Answer:
1


Question:
Hoping to rebound from their road loss to the Panthers, the Cardinals flew to the Edward Jones Dome for a Week 9 NFC West duel with the St. Louis Rams. In the first quarter, Arizona trailed early as Rams QB Marc Bulger completed an 80-yard TD pass to WR Derek Stanley. In the second quarter, the Cardinals took flight as Safety Antrel Rolle returned an interception 40 yards for a touchdown, kicker Neil Rackers got a 36-yard field goal, rookie RB Tim Hightower got a 30-yard TD run, and former Rams QB Kurt Warner completed a 56-yard TD pass to WR Jerheme Urban. In the third quarter, the Cardinals continued their domination as Warner completed a seven-yard TD pass to WR Anquan Boldin. In the fourth quarter, St. Louis tried to rally as Bulger completed a three-yard TD pass to WR Torry Holt (with a failed two-point conversion.) Fortunately, Arizona pulled away as Rackers nailed a 30-yard field goal.

How many more yards did Rackers kick in his first field goal than his second one?

Answer:
6


Question:
After a tough win over the Texans, the Steelers stayed home for a game against the Colts.  In the first quarter, the Colts scored first as Adam Vinatieri nailed a 31-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead.  However, the Steelers took the lead later on in the quarter when Ben Roethlisberger found Markus Wheaton on an 18-yard TD pass for a 7-3 game.  In the 2nd quarter, the Steelers would score again increasing their lead as Roethlisberger found Martavis Bryant on a 5-yard TD pass for a 14-3 game.  This was followed by William Gay picking off Andrew Luck and returning it 33 yards for a TD as they increased their lead to 21-3.  The Colts however responded as Andrew Luck threw a 21-yard TD pass to Dwayne Allen for a 21-10 game.  However, the Steelers pulled away as Roethlisberger would find Antonio Brown on 2 consecutive TD passes:  from 8 and 47 yards out to increase their lead at first from 28-10 to 35-10.  The Colts responded with 10 straight points first being Luck who found T. Y. Hilton on a 28-yard TD Pass for a 35-17 game followed by Vinatieri kicking a 23-yard field goal before halftime to make the score 35-20.  The Steelers went back to work in the 3rd quarter as Roethlisberger and Bryant hooked up again on a 2-yard TD pass to increase their lead making the score 42-20.  The Colts however were able to come within 8 later on when Ahmad Bradshaw ran for a 12-yard TD followed by Luck finding Donte Moncrief on a 31-yard TD pass to make the score 42-27 and then 42-34.  In the 4th quarter, it was all Steelers when a penalty was enforced on Luck in the end zone for a safety making the score 44-34.  The Steelers were able to seal the game later on when Roethlisberger found Heath Miller on an 11-yard TD pass for a final score of 51-34. Roethlisberger set franchise records with 522 yards passing and six touchdowns while picking up his 100th victory in his 150th start. Roethlisberger's yardage total was the fourth highest in NFL history. He became the first player in NFL history to go over 500 yards passing twice as the Steelers won consecutive games for the first time this season.

Which player received a penalty?

Answer:
Luck
