[h=3]Other notable O-line units in Week 7[/h]Miami Dolphins: The Dolphins put on another running clinic, as Jay Ajayi accomplished something only three other players in NFL history have done. He joined Earl Campbell, O.J. Simpson and Ricky Williams after recording back-to-back 200-yard rushing games. Ajayi finished Sunday with 214 yards on 28 carries (a 7.6-yard average). When you accomplish something historic like that, every O-lineman takes full pride in the feat.



The O-line took control of the game against Buffalo on the opening possession, as Miami marched 64 yards on 15 plays and chewed up 7:32 before settling for a field goal. The Fins tallied 454 yards of total offense against a Billsdefense that was ranked 12th overall, fifth on third down and first in red-zone defense. The protection was consistent, as well: Ryan Tannehill was only sacked once and barely touched otherwise -- pretty impressive against a defense that was second in the league in sacks (21) heading into the game. So what prevented the Dolphins from being this week's winner? The O-line had six penalties -- five holding penalties and one false start.
