Miami Dolphins Release 2011-12 Schedule
MIAMI (CBS4) - The Miami Dolphins know who they will face on the gridiron, if there is any season at all pending the NFLPA lockout decision.
If a season is played, it will start off with a bang.
For only the second time in franchise history, the last time being 1975, the Dolphins will open regular season play in front of a national TV audience on Monday Night Football at home against the New England Patriots.
"I think it's a schedule that will be exciting to our players, coaches and fans alike," said Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano. "We open with two games at home and it's not only imperative that we play well right from the start, we are going to have to show continual improvement throughout the year since we end the season with three straight divisional games.
The schedule is as follows:
