Dolphins spoil Broncos' party 38-21 on MNF.

Denver starts its defense of 2 straight championship with a celebration of retired hero John Elway. However, after a fast start by Brian Griese, the game turns for Miami following a blocked FG attempt.

Instead of taking a 10-0 lead, the Broncos see the Dolphins put up 17 straight points before halftime. J.J. Johnson adds a 1-yard TD run early in the 3rd quarter giving Miami a 24-7 lead. Dan Marino throws for 215 yards and 2 TDs. Brian Griese goes 24-of-40 for 270 yards and 3 TDs in his 1st start.
