Many Dolphins fans will look at Sunday's 21-19 victory over the Seattle Seahawks and say they were outplayed or didn't deserve to win. Maybe so. But when you're coming off a 1-15 season, you will take a win any way you can get it. Let's not forget that this is the NFL. Even the best teams in the league struggle to win against lesser opponents. In the end, the only thing that matters is that the 5-4 Dolphins notched another 'W' in the standings.

Commentary: For those who would shake their head at Sunday's performance, it might be time to swallow a pill of perspective. To even say that the Dolphins should have won this game easily is a victory in itself. This team nearly made history last season in going 0-16. And now they're a playoff contender, which is amazing.

Fan Pulse: Miami's finest supporters can't seem to understand "why it is so hard" to believe the Dolphins are playoff contenders.

Fantasy Football Commentary: I've been of the opinion that Ted Ginn Jr. is not a true No. 1 WR in fantasy terms. That opinion may change if QB Chad Pennington keeps connecting with him for TDs like he did Sunday. Also, Ginn can get you points for TDs on his punt and kick returns.

Injury Watch: It was Seattle, not Miami, that was beaten up Sunday. Miami's starters look to be healthy this week.
