Streaks
The Dolphins have won seven in a row and own a 14-12 overall series edge, including the playoffs.

Last week
Despite dominating the time of possession, the Dolphins could not contain Peyton Manning and the Colts down the stretch in a 27-23 loss. ... The Ravens were able to withstand a late rally and held off the Chargers for a 31-26 victory.

Keep your eye on ...

LaDainian Tomlinson's ankle injury: While backup Darren Sproles played well in place of Tomlinson against the Ravens, there is no doubt the single-season touchdown record holder was missed. San Diego failed to score on a touchdown on any of its five trips to the red zone -- an area in which Tomlinson traditionally excels.

Vincent Jackson's arrival as a star: The fifth-year receiver out of Northern Colorado has improved his reception and yardage totals each season and appears ready for stardom. He is Philip Rivers' primary target on deep patterns and could be the difference this week against a Dolphins secondary that has allowed a slew of big plays.

The Wildcat's evolution: Miami used its single-wing formation to great effect against the Colts on Monday night and has committed to sticking with the concept offensively. The next step will be if backup QB Pat White can play a role and add a throwing dimension to the package.

Did you know?
Dolphins QB Chad Pennington is 3-0 in his career against the Chargers. ... Miami LB Joey Porter is the only player in the league with five-plus sacks every year since 2000. ... San Diego CB Antoine Cason is aiming for his third straight game with an interception. ... When Sproles rushes for a touchdown, the Chargers are 3-0.
