Miami end horrible home losing streak with win over Redskins

The Miami Dolphins ended a year-long streak without a home victory by beating the Washington Redskins 20-9 on Sunday with two touchdowns from Reggie Bush finally giving their fans something to cheer about.The victory against a disappointing Redskins, whose offense was ineffective with quarterback Rex Grossman throwing two interceptions, snaps a run of seven losses since Nov. 14, 2010.Miami had lost 12 of their last 13 games at home -- with divisional rivals the New England Patriots having won more times at the Dolphins' stadium.This was also the second straight victory for the Dolphins following their win at Kansas City last week - when they also stopped their opponent from scoring a touchdown.Just two wins but after starting the season 0-7 and having endured plenty of dissent from their fans, the Dolphins were finally in upbeat mood."I was really happy for the home fans, really happy to get a win here, mostly happy for the players in the locker-room," said Miami's head coach Tony Sparano, whose job has been widely reported to be under threat."It was nice to get that out of the way and I was really excited to see them cheering. It is nice to be able to walk into the locker-room here and have a chance to celebrate a victory instead of getting on a plane to do it," he said, referring to the Dolphins better road record.Most Miami fans have written off the season and some have gone as far as openly hoping for defeats to allow them to get the number one pick in next year's draft - almost certain to be Stanford University quarterback Andrew Luck.The so-called 'Suck for Luck' online campaign has angered Sparano and the players and the head coach refuses to give up on the season, which continues with a home game against AFC East divisional rivals Buffalo next week before a trip to Dallas on Thanksgiving Day.When a reporter referred to the team, with a 2-7 record, still having a mountain to climb, Sparano snapped back."I see two and seven as being a hill not a mountain. You see it as being a mountain, the players see it as a hill. We've got a big football game this week, two games in a couple of days, all of a sudden a lot of things can change," he said.
