Dolphins 25, Bills 16

MIAMI -- Ted Ginn Jr. had a breakout game with seven catches for a career-high 175 yards, and the Miami Dolphins overcame a nine-point third-quarter deficit to beat AFC East leader Buffalo, 25-16.

With his first 100-yard game, Ginn made by far his biggest impact since Miami’s much-mocked decision to draft him with the ninth pick last year.

Ginn set up Miami’s first two scores with receptions of 46 and 64 yards. Those completions were part of an efficient day for Chad Pennington, who went 22 for 30 for 314 yards with no interceptions. Joey Porter had two sacks, including one to force a fumble for a safety, one of four turnovers by Buffalo, all in the fourth quarter.

The Dolphins (3-4) tripled their win total from last season under the new Bill Parcells regime, and they broke a four-game losing streak against Buffalo. The Bills (5-2) lost for the second time in three games.
