NFL: Henne helps Dolphins rally by Bucs, 25-23

MIAMI — Chad Henne made up for the worst pass of his brief career and helped save the Miami Dolphins from a wrenching defeat.

Henne directed a 77-yard scoring drive in the final 70 seconds Sunday, and Dan Carpenter kicked a 25-yard field goal with 10 seconds left to give Miami a wild 25-23 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The comeback came after an ill-advised pass by Henne was intercepted to set up the Bucs' go-ahead score with 1:14 left.

The Dolphins (4-5) won despite losing running back Ronnie Brown to a right ankle injury in the third quarter. The Bucs (1-8) were unable to build any momentum after beating Green Bay a week earlier.
