In one of the most thrilling playoff victories in Dolphins history, Miami pulled out a 24-17 victory when Trace Armstrong sacked Doug Flutie and forced a fumble after the Bills had a first-and-goal at the 5-yard line. Karim Abdul-Jabbar and Lamar Thomas scored touchdowns for the Dolphins.

The Dolphins have had a knack for blocking kicks since Darren Rizzi became special teams coordinator in 2010, and they did in this November game against the Bills when Chris Clemons' block was recovered for a touchdown by Lex Hilliard. It was the last Dolphins score in their 35-8 victory in a game that featured three touchdown passes by Matt Moore and the defense holding Buffalo to 0-for-12 in third-down conversions.

Jay Ajayi joined some elite company when he became the fourth running back in NFL history with back-to-back 200-yard games. He gained 214 yards to join O.J. Simpson, Walter Payton and Earl Campbell to gain 200 or more in consecutive weeks. The Dolphins also got a 66-yard touchdown pass from **Ryan Tannehill** to **Kenny Stills** in their 28-25 victory.
