The Dolphins will once again be traveling out of the country during the 2008 season -- but this time they won't have to cross any oceans.
Among the few quirky aspects of this year's schedule, which was announced at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Miami will face the Bills on Dec. 7 in Toronto as part of Buffalo's plan to move some of their games across the border.
At least running back Ricky Williams, who played for the Toronto Argonauts while he served a suspension for a failed drug test, will feel at home.
The rest of the team's schedule is otherwise lacking in glamour. All but two games will be played at 1 p.m., which is probably a reflection of the Dolphins' poor showing last season. The two-late afternoon kickoffs are a result of West Coast opponents (at Arizona at 4:15 p.m. Sept. 14 at 4:15 p.m. and at Denver at 4:05 p.m. Nov. 2).
The schedule has no Monday Night Football games.
The Dolphins will open their schedule at home on Sept. 7 against the Jets at 1 p.m. on CBS. They will play at New England on Sept. 21, which will be followed by a Week 4 bye.
On Oct. 5, the Chargers will travel to South Florida. On Oct. 12, the Dolphins will travel to Houston. On Oct. 19, Baltimore will travel to South Florida. On Oct. 26, Buffalo will travel to South Florida.
On Nov. 9, the Seahawks will be on the road against the Dolphins as well. On Nov. 16, the Raiders will play in South Florida, which will be followed by one more game at home on Nov. 23 against the Patriots.
The Dolphins will play at St. Louis on Nov. 30, followed by their trip to Toronto against the Bills. They will then come home on Dec. 14 to play San Francisco. On Dec. 21, Miami plays at Kansas City.
Miami will close its schedule as it opened it, playing against the Jets, this time in New York on Dec. 28.
