Miami 34, Buffalo 27

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y., Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Jay Fiedler hit rookie Chris Chambers with a 32-yard touchdown with 48 seconds left Sunday to finish off a dramatic comeback and lift the Miami Dolphins to a 34-27 victory over the Buffalo Bills.

Miami's Olindo Mare connected on a 39-yard field goal with 1:11 remaining in the fourth quarter to tie the game before Nate Clements fumbled the ensuing kickoff at the Bills' 42. Two plays later, Chambers made a leaping catch and fell back into the end zone for the winning touchdown.

Miami scored 24 points in the final quarter

Clements was hit by running back Travis Minor and Patrick Surtain fell on the fumble, giving Miami possession with 1:05 to play.

After Fiedler hit Chambers for a 10-yard pass to the 32, the quarterback threw long down the left sidelines and found Chambers just inside the end zone. The receiver fell backwards for the score just before cornerback Ken Irvin could make a tackle.

The Dolphins are 7-1 in their last eight games following a loss to the New York Jets, who have beaten Miami eight straight, including 24-0 last Sunday.
