Every week, NFL FanHouse hits the lowlights from Sunday's action, looking at those players who did the most to move their head coaches that much closer to returning to the Bed and Breakfast business.

After Monday night's 27-23 Colts win over the Dolphins, Chad Pennington had this to say: "It's not about statistics, it's about scoring points and winning football games." He was referring to the now-infamous advantage in time of possession the Dolphins wildcat'd together, and how the game proved to be the exception to the rule that typically links time of possession with victory.

He could have just as easily been talking about his "No. 1 receiver," Ted Ginn Jr.

When the New York Jets tossed Chad Pennington aside in favor of Brett Favre, the Miami Dolphins were happy to pick up the 32-year-old veteran and put him under center.

They were rewarded with a quarterback that finished second in the league's MVP voting, as the team completed one of the most improbable one-year turnarounds in NFL history, claiming the AFC East title one year after a forgettable 1-15 season.

Stay on top of all the postseason action with FanHouse's NFL playoff coverage.

During the regular season, Miami quarterback Chad Pennington threw just seven interceptions, one of the lowest totals in the NFL among starting quarterbacks. On Sunday, during the Dolphins 27-9 Wild Card loss to Baltimore, Pennington was guilty of four interceptions while Miami turned the ball over five times against a swarming Ravens defense. Miami finished the day a -4 in the turnover department, after finishing the season with a league-best +17 margin in terms of turnover differential.

That's not going to get it done.

Each week in the NFL, there are players that impress and players that distress. One week a certain quarterback might toss four touchdowns and run around with his finger in the air while the next he's laying on his back, holding his facemask as the other team returns one of his three interceptions for the game-winning score. With that in mind, here's Studs and Duds.

Here's Week 15 at a glance, where we point out the horses destined for the Kentucky Derby and jeer those headed to the glue factory. (Disclaimer: This will only be for the Sunday games, since you probably can't even remember the Thursday games at this point.)

Studs

Andre Johnson, WR Houston (11 catches, 207 yards, 1 TD) -- Is it really a question? When Andre Johnson has his quarterback, Matt Schaub, behind center, he is the best receiver in the league. He's better than Anquan Boldin, Brandon Marshall, Randy Moss and, sigh, that dude that loves/hates Jason Witten. Today, facing the Texans' toughest opponent of the season, Johnson snagged a 65-yard catch to help his total stockpile. The Texans won, and while they still won't make the playoffs, they're showing that in the coming years they are a force to be reckoned with.

Tampa Bay (9-4) at Atlanta (8-5): It is nice that the the NFC South is playing Nikki Hilton to the NFC East's Paris, creating a competitive rivalry for best division in the league. The South is professional, successful and downright fun to watch, as you could see Monday night. I am still riding the "Matt Ryan for MVP" train directly into the station, and he is getting a lot of help from the likes of Brett Favre, Drew Brees and Kurt Warner, who haven't exactly been lighting it up the last few weeks. Both are coming off a loss last week, so if either one of these teams want to keep playoff hopes alive, they must card a victory.

Explain this to me -- we have flex scheduling but can't make this one a primetime event? I don't get it.

Baltimore (7-4) at Cincinnati (1-9-1): If I asked you at the beginning of the season the following question, "Would Joe Flacco have a better year than Carson Palmer," you'd have three responses.

"Who is Joe Flacco?"

"What team does he play for?"

"Who is Joe Flacco again?"

Like most fans, I can't believe in the Ravens until they are preparing themselves for their first round playoff game. But Flacco has been better than anyone could have expected this season, and it must be nice for Ravens fans to see that. Honestly, do you think a single person in Baltimore thought before the season started that there was such a thing as a competent quarterback on their roster?

Pick: Baltimore

It's that time in the Fantasy Football season. The contenders in most leagues have been established, the pretenders have a few more weeks to shake themselves out, and the bottom-dwellers have probably stopped bothering to even set a weekly roster. Or said bottom-dwellers are conspiring with another owner to pull off a lopsided trade to stack one team and split the winnings. Oops - I might have just referenced some of the shenanigans that I encounter in one of my leagues year in and year out.

Anyhow, it's mid-season and so what if your call on Ricky Williams being a sleeper didn't quite pan out. Fret not my good friends, there is a wealth of untapped potential sitting on your waiver wire as we speak. Well, maybe some of these guys have been snatched off the wire by now. However, there are still a handful of players to be had that could make a slight difference. Don't get too excited since these guys probably aren't going to decide a championship. But if you're in the hunt, it doesn't hurt to take a look.

You never know, they could very well have an impact in a game or two, which could put you over the top in a critical week. The advice with all these guys is to simply monitor and play the matchups. And so, it's time to take a look at some "potential" second-half sleepers. Let's get down to business shall we?

The Miami Dolphins were a laughingstock last season. Going 1-15 will do that. But the 2008 Dolphins are doing a lot of laughing right now.

Sure, their 3-4 record isn't going to scare anybody, but it is three times the amount of wins they had all of last year. And two of those three wins are against the two teams people feel are the favorites to win Miami's AFC East: the Patriots and Bills.

The Dolphins got it together and dominated late in their 25-16 victory over the Buffalo Bills. Ted Ginn Jr. set a career high with 175 yards receiving, which was a major part of Chad Pennington's 314 yards passing attack -- his first 300-yard game since 2006. Miami scored the game's final 18 points to get the win.

Each week in the NFL, there are players that impress and players that distress. One week a certain quarterback might toss four touchdowns and run around with his finger in the air while the next he's laying on his back, holding his face-mask as the other team returns one of his three interceptions for the game-winning score.

Here's Week 1 at a glance, where we point out the horses destined for the Kentucky Derby and jeer those headed to the glue factory.

Studs

Michael Turner, RB ATL (220 yards, 2 TDs): I guess this would be one way to introduce yourself as a starter. On a new coast that is as far from the initials "LDT" as possible, Turner ran all over a Detroit Lions defense that would have been out-hustled by a Madame Tussuad's exhibition. Breaking one for 66 yards, Turner looked like the second coming of the Dirty Bird in Atlanta.

LaMarr Woodley, OLB PIT (2 tackles, 1 sack, 1 fumble recovery, 1 interception): I guess it would be fair to give this award to the entire Steelers defense, but the second-year man out of Michigan sure had a pretty salty line. A funny fact about Lamarr -- while at Michigan, T-shirts were sold that said, "Guns don't kill people, LaMarr Woodley kills people." The Houston Texans will testify to that.

Welcome to another successful installment of Five Questions with an Enemy Blogger, where each week, via email, I will be exchanging hot questions and [sometimes] answers with a rival blogger about their team and the upcoming matchup.

This week I sat down with Matty I of The Phinsider, a Sports Blog Nation column that covers the Miami Dolphins.

Dan Benton: "How heartbreaking has it been to watch the Dolphins get off to an 0-7 start?"

Matty I: "Oh, it's been heartbreaking all right. This has been the toughest season of Dolphins football to watch in my entire life. And to have the one bright spot of the team, Ronnie Brown, go down with the ACL injury makes me sick, to be honest. But here's the thing, though. Any realistic Dolphin fan knew this season was going to be a long one. Sure, we didn't think it would be this bad, but you have to try to focus on the positives or else you're going to drive yourself mad. And there have been some positives to focus on. The offensive line, which was horrid last season, is much improved and is getting better every week. People wondered if Vernon Carey could succeed as a left tackle and he's shown that he is capable of it. We also now get to see a lot more of Ted Ginn Jr. in the passing game following the trade of Chris Chambers, which creates some hope for the future. Last but not least, though, is the fact that we aren't too far away from seeing 2nd round pick John Beck get his shot at starting. It'll be great for Beck to be able to get his feet wet this season rather than having to wait to next season. Maybe he can take his rookie lumps this year and then be much better prepared next season to be this team's full-time starter. It's these kinds of things that us Dolphin fans can look to as we attempt to find a silver lining somewhere in this mess."
