This time it was Mercury Morris' day to shine. The running back rushed for his second career 100-yard plus game, gaining 106 yards on 11 carries and scoring two touchdowns. He also added a reception for 26 yards. Adding to the scoring was Marv Fleming, on a 7-yard pass from Earl Morrall, and field goals of 33, 17 and 16 yards by Yepremian. The victory was the Dolphins' ninth straight over two seasons, breaking a club record. "It's going to be tough for them to get beat," Buffalo running back O.J. Simpson said. "I think they're the best team in football."
