MIAMI -- The Miami Dolphins, Anheuser-Busch and the local CBS affiliate have purchased unsold tickets for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans, extending the team's 13-year streak of not having a home TV blackout.

The tickets were offered to season-ticket holders on a complimentary basis, the team said Thursday.

The Miami Herald reported that about 10,000 tickets were unsold as of midday Thursday, prompting the action.

With a blackout averted, the game will be the 103rd in a row shown on local TV.
