MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- Unheralded backup quarterback Damon Huard, who replaced an injured Dan Marino and led the Miami Dolphins to an improbable come-from-behind 31-30 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday, today was named Miller Lite NFL Player of the Week.

Huard passed for 240 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winning five-yard scoring pass to running back Stanley Pritchett with 23 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

Marino left the game in the first quarter with the Dolphins trailing, 7-0, due to neck spasms which caused weakness in his shoulder. After having his first pass intercepted and returned for a touchdown by Patriots cornerback Ty Law, Huard showed the poise of a veteran, leading the Dolphins to eight scoring drives, including two in the final 2:45.

With New England leading 30-22, Huard broke off two scrambles for 20 yards to help set up a 53-yard field goal by Olindo Mare, pulling Miami within 30-25. On the game-winning drive, he completed nine passes for 59 yards on the winning drive.

Huard completed 24-of-42 passes, including a 69-yard TD to Tony Martin, and rushed for 54 yards.
