NEW YORK: The Miami Dolphins continued their Cinderella season, joining the Minnesota Vikings, Carolina Panthers and San Diego Chargers in grabbing division titles on the final day of the NFL regular season on Sunday.
The Dolphins, the league's worst team a year ago at 1-15, rode the quarterbacking of New York Jets reject Chad Pennington to a 24-17 victory over his former team to claim the AFC East Division crown and a playoff berth.
The win was the ninth in 10 games for the Dolphins (11-5), who will face the Baltimore Ravens (11-5) in Sunday's AFC wild-card game at Miami.
