The key to the Dolphins' success is their balanced offensive attack, with running back Kenyan Drake contributing both as a rusher and a receiver. The Bills struggle to contain Drake, as he breaks free for several big plays that keep the Dolphins' drives alive.

The Bills continue to fight back, with Allen connecting on several long passes to wide receiver Robert Foster. However, the Dolphins' defense continues to make key stops, and they take the lead with a field goal in the fourth quarter.
