Bills... 13 Dolphins... 10
- Share via
MIAMI -- Even when the Miami Dolphins play keep-away, they lose.
Winless Miami controlled the ball for nearly 37 minutes and led most of the game, but Rian Lindell kicked a 34-yard field goal with 46 seconds left and the Buffalo Bills earned their fourth consecutive victory, 13-10.
Buffalo scored 11 points in the final 9:46 to improve to 5-4. The Bills’ winning streak is their longest since 2004.
The Dolphins fell to 0-9, extending the worst start in franchise history. Five defeats have been by three points, none more wrenching than the latest.
Buffalo’s only touchdown came after a long drive by the Dolphins put them ahead, 10-2. The Bills capped a 66-yard march with a three-yard run by Marshawn Lynch, who then ran for the two-point conversion, spinning across the goal line after he was hit to make it 10-10.
Miami’s Ted Ginn Jr. returned the ensuing kickoff 86 yards for an apparent score, but the touchdown was negated by a holding penalty on Greg Camarillo.
Quoteworthy: “This win tells a lot about our team. Our backs were to the wall, and we made enough plays when we had to.” -- J.P. Losman, Bills quarterback
