Moore very efficient in Dolphins' rout of Bills

Miami Dolphins quarterback Matt Moore threw three first-half touchdowns, and that was more than enough to help Miami earn its third straight victory and hand the Buffalo Bills their third straight loss.

Moore went 14-for-20 for Miami (3-7) in the 35-8 blowout win.


Meanwhile, Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick threw two interceptions, completing 20 of 39 passes for 209 yards and no touchdowns. Buffalo fell to 5-5 with the loss.

The Dolphins' defense gave Moore a couple short fields with the picks, which explains his 160 yards passing, but Moore took what was given to him and was efficient enough to make good on the defense's turnovers.

Moore, who has now thrown seven touchdowns to five interceptions, took over for Chad Henne during Week 4 when Henne was lost for the season with a shoulder injury.
