Move over Ezekiel Elliott, Jay Ajayi is the NFLs best running back.Ajayi tied a league record by surpassing 200 yards rushing for the second straight game, helping the Miami Dolphins win two in a row.Ajayi ran for 214 yards in a win over Buffalo after totaling 204 yards a week earlier against Pittsburgh. He joins O.J. Simpson, Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams as the only players to have consecutive 200-yard games.Now, the former fifth-round pick has to wait an extra week to break the record because Miami (3-4) has a bye.Elliott leads the league in rushing, helping Dallas (5-1) to first place in the NFC East. But the rookie hasnt even had a 150-yard game yet.Surely, hes no Ajayi.By the way, Ajayi had 304 career rushing yards before his outburst. He also did it against two of the leagues bottom-12 defenses against the run. Lets see how he does against the Jets on Nov. 6. New York is the fourth-ranked run defense in the league.Here are other overreactions following Week 7:OVERREACTION: The Vikings are the 2015 Falcons, who started 5-0 and finished 8-8.REALISTIC REACTION: Minnesota wasnt going 16-0.

Shirokovs treble came as Zenit easily overcame Pacos Ferreira 4-1 in their first leg. At Eindhoven, Stephan El Shaarawy headed seven-time European champion Milan ahead after 15 minutes but Tim Matavz nodded in equalizer on the hour. Tuesdays other matches saw teams claim two-goal advantages going into next weeks second legs. Kazakhstan champion Shakhter Karagandy stunned Scottish club Celtic 2-0, Real Sociedad won at Lyon by the same score and Viktoria Plzen beat Maribor 3-1 in the Czech Republic. A further 10 clubs are in action on Wednesday as they chase a spot in the lucrative 32-team group stage, which starts in September. Zenit can already start glancing ahead to the draw in Monaco later this month. Shirokov, the Russia midfielder, took 27 minutes to find the net in Portugal, striking into the bottom of the net from Dannys cross. Although Andre Leone volleyed Pacos Ferreira level in the 58th, Shirokov was on target again from close range at the back post two minutes later to restore Zenits lead. After Aleksandr Kerzhakovs free kick went off the crossbar and in off goalkeeper Matias Degra in the 85th, Shirokov completed his hat trick in style in the 90th, blasting the ball into the top right corner. It was a far tighter encounter in the Netherlands as Milan and PSV played out the nights only draw. PSV gifted Milan possession for the openeer, with Ignazio Abate seizing the ball from Memphis Depay before whipping in a cross that El Shaarawy met with a free header.dddddddddddd But the 1988 European Cup winner levelled on the hour, with Jeffrey Bruma unleashing a dipping, swerving shot that goalkeeper Christian Abbiati spilled, and Matavz was alert to pounce and send a downward header into the net. In Astana, Shakhter Karagandy closed in on a spot in the group stage for the first time with its victory over Celtic, the Scottish champion which beat Barcelona on its run to the Champions League last-16 last season. Andrei Finonchenko put the hosts ahead after seizing on slack defending in the 12th minute, and Sergei Khizhnichenko headed in another in the 77th in Astana. Celtic had come close to equalizing in the 19th when Kris Commons hit the crossbar with a powerful strike that bounced down close to the line. It was unclear from TV replays whether the ball crossed the line, and UEFA has rejected the use of goal-line technology to adjudicate on such unclear situations. Lyon has an uphill task advancing after Antoine Griezmanns acrobatic goal and Haris Seferovics volley put Real Sociedad in control. Lyons troubles deepened in the 75th when Milan Bisevac was sent off after being shown a second yellow card. It was an easier night for Czech side Viktoria Plzen, which took the lead against Maribor after just eight minutes through Marian Cisovsky. Vladimir Darida and Michal Duris extended the hosts lead in the second half, while Ales Mejac pulled a goal back for the 11-time Slovenian champions. ' ' '
