Dolphins win 4th straight

It required a last minute field goal from Dan Carpenter to defeat the deplorable 2-8 Oakland Raiders, but once again, a win is a win. Ronnie Brown took his turn as the star of the offense, rushing 16 times for 101 yards. The game wasn't as close as the score suggested, but the Raiders led before Carpenter's kick due to poor special teams play. The Dolphins punt coverage unit is the second worst in the league, and it showed why in allowing Johnnie Lee Higgins to score on a 93-yard return with 4:30 left.
