OAKLAND, Calif.. -- Davone Bess couldn't have asked for a better homecoming as the Dolphins' third-year wide receiver caught six passes for 111 yards and returned three punts for 60 yards, including a 47-yarder in the third quarter of their 33-17 win against the Raiders. Bess bought 64 tickets for friends and family to watch him playing the stadium he could see from his boyhood home just five minutes away.
Dolphins running back Ricky Williams, who had a 45-yard TD run to close out the scoring, also grew up not too far away. So did rookie wide receiver Marlon Moore (above), who caught a 57-yard touchdown pass for his first career score, and rookie linebacker Koa Misi.
o. Raiders wide receiver Jacoby Ford grew up in West Palm Beach, about 20 miles north of Miami, and had an electrifying day, which is fitting considering his electrifying speed. Ford returned the opened kickoff 101 yards for a touchdown and later had a 44-yard touchdown reception. But going up high for that one-handed, back-to-the-end-zone, 52-yard fourth-quarter grab was a thing of beauty.
