Fiedler breaks thumb but leads comeback
The Associated Press
DENVER - Miami Dolphins quarterback Jay Fiedler broke his right thumb late in Sunday night's game against the Denver Broncos but still managed to engineer the game-winning drive.
A Dolphins spokesman said there was no immediate estimation how long Fiedler would be out.
Fiedler was injured on the next-to-last drive of the Dolphins' 24-22 victory on a pass to Ricky Williams in the flat.
"I came down on a helmet and felt something loose in there," Fiedler said. "But I was still able to grip the ball and throw."
On the final drive after Denver's Jason Elam kicked a 55-yard field goal for a 22-21 lead, Fiedler threw two incomplete passes. He then completed a 17-yard pass to Randy McMichael and a 22-yarder to Dedric Ward, setting up Olindo Mare's clinching 53-yard field goal with six seconds left.
"We'll find out (Monday)," Fiedler said of his status. "It's a right thumb fracture, down near the joint."
