导出博客文章MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- As the NFLs newest rushing star, Jay Ajayi is carrying
the Miami Dolphins toward respectability.Ajayi tied a league record by
surpassing 200 yards rushing for the second game in a row, helping Miami rally
past the Buffalo Bills 28-25 Sunday.Ajayi rushed for 214 yards in 29 carries
after totaling 204 yards a week earlier in a win over Pittsburgh. He scored on a
4-yard run , and busted a 53-yarder when the Dolphins were pinned at their 3 and
trailing in the fourth quarter.The Dolphins (3-4) used an extra lineman much of
the time to clear big holes for Ajayi, who tied the record for consecutive
200-yard games held by O.J. Simpson, Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams.Its
surreal to me, Ajayi said. The backs Im in company with -- thats huge. Those are
Hall of Fame guys, guys I look up to.Two weeks ago the Dolphins appeared strong
contenders for the No. 1 draft pick in 2017, and the discovery of a ground game
has revived their season under first-year coach Adam Gase.I know this -- every
time No. 23 kept getting the ball, he was popping a run, Gase said. I was
leaning on him.Miami overcame an 11-point deficit with 16 minutes left to end a
four-game winning streak by the Bills (4-3) and beat them for only the second
time in their past seven meetings.We got outplayed, we got outcoached, we got
out-everythinged, Buffalo coach Rex Ryan said. They were the more physical team
today, theres no doubt about that. They controlled the game.With Ajayi briefly
sidelined by cramps, Damien Williams carried half the Bills weary defense into
the end zone on a 12-yard touchdown run that put the Dolphins ahead with 3:56 to
go. On their next possession, Ryan Tannehill hit Kenny Stills for a 66-yard
score that made it 28-17.The Dolphins recovered an onside kick with 13 seconds
left to seal the victory.Tyrod Taylor threw long to Marquise Goodwin for a
67-yard touchdown that put the Bills up 17-6 midway through the third quarter.
The Dolphins responded with a 75-yard drive for their first touchdown, and
scored 22 points in the final 15:18.EMERGING STAR: Ajayi, a second-year pro from
Boise State, is the only NFL rusher with a 200-yard game this year. He ran for
187 yards as a rookie and totaled 117 in Miamis first five games this year
before his breakout.The kid made some good runs, ran through some tackles, Ryan
said. He did a great job bouncing and cutting it back.GIMPY McCOY: While Miamis
ground game clicked, Bills running back LeSean McCoy left in the third quarter
after he aggravated a left hamstring injury.McCoy, ranked second in the NFL in
rushing, had been questionable after hurting himself in practice Wednesday. He
said he felt great in warmups and started the game, but the injury began to
bother him in the second half.I tried to take off and felt a little pain, and it
just didnt feel right, McCoy said. I came out, thats the smart thing. I didnt
want to reinjure anything.McCoy totaled 11 yards in eight carries.ILLEGAL HIT:
Bills safety Aaron Williams missed the second half with a head and neck injury
when blocked illegally by receiver Jarvis Landry, who was flagged for
unnecessary roughness.Landry led with his shoulder, launched into Williams and
hit him high. Williams remained on his back for a couple of minutes before he
slowly rose and was led to the locker room.When asked if the hit was dirty,
Landry said, Call it what you want. Its football.Williams was still under
observation after the game, Ryan said. The veteran safety missed most of last
season when he underwent neck surgery following an injury that threatened his
career.EDGE IN STATS: The Dolphins outgained Buffalo 454 yards to 267 and had a
14-minute edge in time of possession, but were hurt by 13 penalties for 116
yards.Game notes Goodwin was hurt on an incompletion late in the game and went
into the concussion protocol. Dolphins S Isa Abdul-Quddus suffered an ankle
injury in the fourth quarter. ... The Bills Lorenzo Alexander had a sack for the
seventh game in a row. ... Bills LB Shaq Lawson, their first-round draft pick,
made his NFL debut after recovering from shoulder surgery and had one tackle in
limited action.---AP NFL website:
