The Miami Dolphins ended New England's run of 21 successive regular season NFL wins when Ronnie Brown scored four touchdowns and threw a pass for another in a 38-13 victory over the Patriots on Sunday. It was only the Dolphins' second win in 22 games and Brown said: "Getting a win like this over a team of this calibre, I think it just builds momentum and hopefully will carry over." New England, playing for the second full game without injured quarterback Tom Brady, never led, and their only score came from Jabar Gaffney in the third quarter.
The Super Bowl champions New York Giants needed overtime to defeat the Cincinnati Bengals 26-23 and maintain their 100 per cent record. Kicker John Carney's 22-yard field goal won them the game with only eight minutes of the additional time left to play. The Dallas Cowboys also remain undefeated this season, winning 27-16 at the Green Bay Packers, with Marion Barber claiming a career-high 142 yards rushing for the Cowboys.
Unbeaten Buffalo won their third consecutive game when Rian Lindell kicked a 38-yard field goal as time expired for a 24-23 home victory over the Oakland Raiders. Cortland Finnegan's 99-yard interception return for a touchdown sealed the Tennessee Titans' 31-12 home win over the Houston Texans. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers rallied to beat the Chicago Bears 27-24 thanks to Matt Bryant's 21-yard overtime field goal.
Antoine Winfield's touchdown helped rally the Minnesota Vikings to their first win of the season. The 20-10 success also proved to be the first loss of the year for the Carolina Panthers. The Washington Redskins got the better of the Arizona Cardinals 24-17 at home after Carlos Rogers's interception set up the winning touchdown. * Reuters

How to keep control of your emotions
If your investment decisions are being dictated by emotions such as fear, greed, hope, frustration and boredom, it is time for a rethink, Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at online trading platform IG, says.
Greed
Greedy investors trade beyond their means, open more positions than usual or hold on to positions too long to chase an even greater gain. “All too often, they incur a heavy loss and may even wipe out the profit already made.
Tip: Ignore the short-term hype, noise and froth and invest for the long-term plan, based on sound fundamentals.
Fear
The risk of making a loss can cloud decision-making. “This can cause you to close out a position too early, or miss out on a profit by being too afraid to open a trade,” he says.
Tip: Start with a plan, and stick to it. For added security, consider placing stops to reduce any losses and limits to lock in profits.
Hope
While all traders need hope to start trading, excessive optimism can backfire. Too many traders hold on to a losing trade because they believe that it will reverse its trend and become profitable.
Tip: Set realistic goals. Be happy with what you have earned, rather than frustrated by what you could have earned.
Frustration
Traders can get annoyed when the markets have behaved in unexpected ways and generates losses or fails to deliver anticipated gains.
Tip: Accept in advance that asset price movements are completely unpredictable and you will suffer losses at some point. These can be managed, say, by attaching stops and limits to your trades.
Boredom
Too many investors buy and sell because they want something to do. They are trading as entertainment, rather than in the hope of making money. As well as making bad decisions, the extra dealing charges eat into returns.
Tip: Open an online demo account and get your thrills without risking real money.

Day 5, Abu Dhabi Test: At a glance
Moment of the day When Dilruwan Perera dismissed Yasir Shah to end Pakistan’s limp resistance, the Sri Lankans charged around the field with the fevered delirium of a side not used to winning. Trouble was, they had not. The delivery was deemed a no ball. Sri Lanka had a nervy wait, but it was merely a stay of execution for the beleaguered hosts.
Stat of the day – 5 Pakistan have lost all 10 wickets on the fifth day of a Test five times since the start of 2016. It is an alarming departure for a side who had apparently erased regular collapses from their resume. “The only thing I can say, it’s not a mitigating excuse at all, but that’s a young batting line up, obviously trying to find their way,” said Mickey Arthur, Pakistan’s coach.
The verdict Test matches in the UAE are known for speeding up on the last two days, but this was extreme. The first two innings of this Test took 11 sessions to complete. The remaining two were done in less than four. The nature of Pakistan’s capitulation at the end showed just how difficult the transition is going to be in the post Misbah-ul-Haq era.
