MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Last week, Miami Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi became the first NFL player to reach 200 yards rushing in a game this season. On Sunday, he also became the second player to accomplish that feat.Ajayi added 214 rushing yards in Sundays 28-25 win over the Buffalo Bills. According to ESPN Stats & Information research, Ajayi is just the fourth player in the Super Bowl era to post back-to-back 200-yard rushing games. The last player to do it was former Dolphins running back Ricky Williams in 2002.The only other players to hit the mark were Earl Campbell (1980) and O.J. Simpson, who did it twice (1976 and 1973).After the game Sunday, Ajayi said hes excited to be in such exclusive company.I wouldnt have called you crazy because its something that I envisioned for myself. I want to see myself on that level, Ajayi said. I believe I still have a lot of work to do and I have to keep pushing forward. But Ive always had the confidence in my talent and ability.The former fifth-round pick became an unexpected, emerging star for Miami after losing the starting job to veteran Arian Foster in the preseason. Ajayi didnt make the trip in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks because the team was unhappy with the way he handled the benching.However, Dolphins coaches have been impressed with Ajayis work ethic and preparation since that point, and it has paid off. Ajayi has been on fire the past two weeks with 418 rushing yards and three touchdowns against the Steelers and Bills.Ajayi and the offensive line have been the biggest bright spots for Miami (3-4) during its two-game win streak.I believe that Im catching my stride right now and continuing to do well, Ajayi said. Just keep being consistent -- thats my main focus. At the running back position, in our room, we want to be the best players on the field at all times.However, Ajayis 54 carries the past two games have caused some wear and tear. Ajayi pulled himself from the game late in the fourth quarter Sunday due to cramps.Luckily we have a bye week, so its all good, Ajayi said. Thats the most carries Ive had in a long time. I just gotta keep working on hydration, but cramps are going to happen sometimes.The Dolphins will take a two-week break before returning to the field with a home game on Nov. 6 against the New York Jets (2-5).

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- For Purdue sophomores David Blough and Markell Jones, Saturdays 24-14 come-from-behind victory against Nevada was all about redemption.Blough threw an interception during the games opening series that the Wolf Pack converted into a touchdown and Jones lost two opening-half fumbles, one of which was converted into a touchdown.But Blough threw for 300 yards and two touchdowns, and Jones had a go-ahead score in the third quarter as Purdue rallied to win.Purdue, which turned it over four times, pulled within 14-10 late in the second quarter on Bloughs 48-yard touchdown pass to Bilal Marshall. Purdues defense dominated the third, limiting Nevada to 23 yards on 11 plays.We showed a lot of character, said Blough, who was intercepted five times during a loss to Cincinnati on Sept. 10. The TD pass to Marshall at the end of the first half was the play of the game. It was big for us.Jones 5-yard TD run capped a 12-play, 49-yard drive in the third quarter, and the Boilermakers (2-1) added a TD with 1:17 remaining in the fourth on Bloughs 51-yard pass to Brycen Hopkins.

The defense was phenomenal in the second half, and the score before halftime gave us momentum. It lifted our sideline. At halftime, we had a lot of energy in that locker room.Tyler Stewart threw touchdown passes of 15 yards to Hasaan Henderson and 6 yards to James Butler for Nevada (2-2).

We were OK in spurts, but we just couldnt sustain drives.dddddddddddd We put up only 14 points, and thats not enough against a team like Purdue. We knew their defensive front was pretty good. I knew there would be pressure.The Wolf Pack had an opportunity to pull even at 17 with 4:16 remaining in the fourth, but Brent Zuzo hooked a 27-yard field-goal attempt wide left, and Blough iced it.They made plays at the end when we should have, Nevada coach Brian Polian said.

Still, we had a chance to win the game in the end, and we didnt do it.Purdue outgained Nevada 466-253.TAKEAWAYS:PURDUE: The Boilermakers were sloppy offensively throughout the game, but their defense pressured Stewart throughout the day and did not allow a point during the games final 35:56.NEVADA: The Wolf Pack came in featuring a strong rushing attack, averaging 208.3 yards a game, but had only 90 at halftime and lost 4 yards rushing during the third quarter when all the momentum shifted to Purdue.
