    Bell is such a beast. He has 96 yards today, including the 26-yard touchdown. He had only 53 yards rushing against the Dolphins Week 6.

    (He might have been down inside the one. I think that right elbow hit before the ball crossed the goal line, but I'm not sure there is clear enough evidence to overturn the call.)

    Edit: Yup. Reversed. Of course, the officials got it wrong on that second down play just now, too. Bell got that ball over the goal line before being pushed back. Should be another reversal, this one giving Bell the touchdown.

    Whew. Red-zone offense confirmed.

    A little concerned about Bell, though. A fresher running back would have gotten all 26 yards instead of 25 1/2.

    Do they have the goalposts miked? That "thunk" on the missed PAT was loud.

    Dolphins QB Matt Moore (death) is questionable to return.

    Good call, though. That was a helmet-to-helmet hit by Dupree.

    How the heck is Moore cleared through the protocol that quickly?

    I find it hard to believe Bell is the only player in NFL history to average 100 rushing and 50 receiving in a season.
