Joey Porter sacked Trent Edwards in the end zone, forcing a fumble that led to a safety and giving the Dolphins a 22-16 lead with 7:50 remaining. Miami kicked a 35-yard field goal on the subsequent drive to make it a two-possession game.

Game ball
Ted Ginn Jr. had a 46-yard reception on Miami's first play from scrimmage and never looked back. Ginn led all receivers with seven receptions for 175 yards after having totaled 177 yards through Miami's first six games.

Buffalo committed four critical mistakes in the fourth quarter, squashing any hopes of a late-game comeback. On consecutive drives, Edwards was intercepted by Will Allen, stripped by Porter on a QB sneak, and sacked by Porter in the end zone, leading to a safety. On Buffalo's final drive, TE Robert Royal fumbled after a 20-yard completion.
