MIAMI, FL – The Miami Dolphins drove into Oakland Raiders territory to start the 4^th quarter. Ricky Williams had a 12-yard run, and then Ronnie Brown had carries of 4 and 1 yard. But on the Oakland 34-yard line, on 4^th down, the Dolphins decided to punt instead of going for a long field goal, as it was unlikely that the Raiders would drive the length of the field for a score.

Oakland began their first drive of the final quarter at their own 8-yard line. And they were able to put together one of their better drives in weeks. The pass attack had a better rhythm, as evidenced by JaMarcus Russell’s two completions to Ronald Curry for a total of 32 yards. He was also able to hook-up with Zach Miller for 18 yards and Darren McFadden had a run for 5 yards before they settled for a Sebastian Janikowski 37 yard field goal that cut the lead to 14-8.

The Raiders defense thwarted the Dolphins on the ensuing drive after Greg Camarillo caught a 21-yard pass that was tipped by Chris Johnson on a 3^rd and 9. Oakland allowed 7 yards after that and forced Miami to punt.

Johnnie Lee Higgins provided the Raiders one of their best moments of the season when he took that return 93-yards for a touchdown o shock Dolphin stadium and give the Raiders their first lead of the game.

With the 15-14 advantage, Oakland’s defense allowed the Dolphins to drive the ball down the field as the 4th quarter expired. Pennington connected with Camarillo for 13 yards and then with Davone Bess for 27 and 4 yards to set up a 4th and 5 from the Oakland 35 yard line.

Ginn hauled in a 7 yard pass, his fourth of the day, giving Miami a first down on the Oakland 28 yard line.

Oakland was forced to use their time outs as Miami ran the ball and set up for the game winning field goal attempt.

The Dolphins called their 2nd timeout of the half with 0:43 left on the clock and marched out kicker Dan Carpenter for the game winining 38-yard field goal.

SCORE: Miami Dolphins 17 – Oakland Raiders 15
