It was Allen’s 11th straight game with multiple passes against the Dolphins. It was the most by any player against an opponent all-time, including the postseason, according to ESPN Stats & Info and the Elias Sports Bureau. Marino had 10 straight games with multiple passes against the New York Jets.
Allen found Knox in the tight end for a 6-yard touchdown to go up 7-0 early. It was Knox’s fifth straight game with a touchdown catch. He joined Eric Molds, Steve Johnson and Lee Evans for the most consecutive games of at least one receiving touchdown in team history, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

He would later find Beasley for a 6-yard touchdown pass to regain the lead. Then he threw a dart to Davis for a 23-yard touchdown to get some cushion.
Allen had to cut down on early turnovers to hold off Miami. Along with the two interceptions, he had a fumble that led to a scoop-and-score touchdown.
