Adrian Peterson will be in hearing Monday

Ryan Tannehill shook off five sacks and threw for two late touchdowns to help the host Dolphins defeat the Bills, 22-9, last night.

Buffalo won the previous three meetings between the AFC East rivals.

Tannehill went 26-for-34 for 240 yards and threw touchdown passes of 7 yards to Brandon Gibson and 8 yards to Jarvis Landry. Lamar Miller rushed for 86 yards for the Dolphins, who trailed 9-3 before outscoring Buffalo 19-0 over the final 18 minutes.

The Dolphins improved to 6-4, their best record after 10 games since 2008. The Bills, trying to end a 14-year playoff drought, fell to 5-5 with their second loss in a row.

Miami had scored one touchdown in 33 possessions against Buffalo before late TD drives of 80 and 63 yards.

Peterson hearing Monday

Adrian Peterson will have a hearing via conference call Monday about possible reinstatement with the Vikings.

Through the players' union, he entered a noninjury grievance on when his paid leave on the commissioner's exempt list is supposed to end. Lawyers representing the union and the NFL will discuss the grievance.

Peterson has been on that list since Sept. 18 following his indictment for felony child abuse in Texas. The running back pleaded no contest last week to a lesser charge of misdemeanor reckless assault, freeing him from the court system provided he fulfills his probation terms.

Also last week, the players' union demanded in a letter to the league that Peterson be allowed to rejoin the Vikings immediately until any discipline has been determined.

Union wants changes

in personal conduct policy

The players' union wants to negotiate with the NFL in changing the personal conduct policy.

In a memo sent to each NFLPA player representative and executive board member, and obtained by The Associated Press yesterday, the union cites the NFL's "mismanagement" of several incidents, including the Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson cases.

The memo contends the NFL has "inconsistencies that have led to the lack of credibility and damage to our brand."

The NFL did not immediately respond to the memo.

The union says the NFL has not complied with the labor agreement reached in 2011 in regard to personal conduct discipline. It believes the league has ignored "due diligence and due process" in its handling of cases under the policy.
