‘"I don’t care," middle linebacker Zach Thomas said. "We got out of here with a win, and I’m going to stay positive."’

Bills’ special teams not so special
‘Good teams find ways to win. Bad teams find ways to lose.’
Injuries pile up, but line holds up
‘It was the patchwork offensive line that gave quarterback Jay Fiedler enough time to throw two touchdown passes to rookie Chris Chambers in the final 4:07 to fuel the come-from-behind victory.’
Fiedler and Co. make big statement
‘This was a great escape against a decidedly ungreat opponent, but the Dolphins and Jay Fiedler will take it.’
Sunday’s key play
‘"They came up with some big plays in the end, and we didn’t make the big plays to counter that." — coach Gregg Williams’.
Grading the Dolphins
‘Let’s not kid ourselves: The Bills (1-9) are not a particularly good team.’
Gardener might go on injured reserve today
‘The Dolphins could place defensive tackle Daryl Gardener on injured reserve as early as today.’
Formula 4:07: Score 17
‘On Sunday, Fiedler directed his fourth fourth-quarter comeback of the season, taking the Dolphins from the depths of a devastating loss to the heights of an almost unimaginable 34-27 win against Buffalo at Ralph Wilson Stadium.’
Up and down day for 'D'
‘”We didn’t play our best,” Thomas said, “but we got the job done.”‘
Chambers wins notice worldwide
‘His instincts in the fourth quarter caught up to his past few months of instruction, and it turned the game into a footrace that the Bills’ secondary had no chance of winning.’
Dixon breaks leg, could be out for season
‘With 46 seconds left in the first quarter, left guard Mark Dixon fractured his right fibula, forcing rookie free agent Troy Andrew into the lineup.’
It's never too late to give thanks
‘Put a spin on this, coach: You may have gotten rid of the wrong kicker.’
Dolphins aren't dead yet
‘But in those final 15 minutes, a mixture of clutch plays and key breaks helped Miami generate 24 fourth-quarter points and escape Ralph Wilson Stadium with a 34-27 victory to tie the idle Jets at 7-3 atop the AFC East.’
Dolphins 34, Bills 27
‘The Dolphins overcame a 27-17 deficit in the final eight minutes, helped in part when Patrick Surtain recovered Nate Clements’ fumble on a kickoff return, setting up the winning score.’
Dolphins lose Dixon to broken right leg
‘Dixon, who started 25 of Miami’s last 26 games, was hurt late in the first quarter when the Buffalo Bills stuffed running back Lamar Smith for a 3-yard loss.’
