Landry finished with seven receptions for 50 yards and two touchdowns.

The Dolphins led by four at halftime and increased their lead to 28-17 after two miscues by Denver. Isaiah Burse fumbled a punt return to give Miami the ball at the Broncos 12 and a defensive holding third-and-10 gave Miami a first-and-goal at the 5.
