Dolphins survive Carolina rally, win 27-24

Newly acquired safety Lance Schulters intercepted a Jake Delhomme pass with two minutes remaining to set up Olindo Mare's game-winning field goal, giving the Dolphins a 27-24 win over the Panthers. Ronnie Brown had his first 100-yard rushing game, gaining 132 yards on 23 carries, including a 58-yarder when the Dolphins were pinned deep near their goal line. Frerotte finished the game with 171 yards on 14-of-33 passing with two TDs and an interception.

The Dolphins are already halfway to their 2004 win total in just three games. They have a bye next week before traveling to Buffalo.
