Why do you have to buy tapes in this league?'' Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor had six tackles, a sack and a forced fumble. The sounds that matter |

Rian Lindell kicked three field goals, and McGahee ran for 91 yards. Buffalo is 4-1 in its last five meetings with the Dolphins, who posted a 21-0 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday in South Beach. The Bills are 2-3 against the division this season, and a loss on Sunday versus Miami would officially eliminate them from playoff contention. |

| (MySportsbook) - After a disappointing loss to Jacksonville derailed Miami's winning streak and virtually ended the team's late drive toward a playoff berth, it would have been easy for the Dolphins to just roll over against the New England Patriots. Not only did they rebound with a strong 21-0 whitewash, but it might have been their best overall effort of the season. The offensive numbers were nothing to write home about, but the run/pass ratio was balanced and the unit did not commit a turnover. Special teams |

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -The New England Patriots have played without running back Laurence Moroney, without linebacker Junior Seau and without defensive backs Rodney Harrison, Eugene Wilson and Randall Gay. And the list keeps getting longer. Nose tackle Vince Wilfork and tight end Benjamin Watson, a pair of first-round picks from the 2004 draft who have become indispensable parts on either side of the ball, both left Sunday's 21-0 loss to Miami in the third quarter with leg injuries.
