MIAMI GARDENS (CBSMiami) – Call it the Miracle in Miami Gardens.
Facing certain defeat and against all odds, the Miami Dolphins pulled off a two-lateral desperation play with no time on the clock to shock the AFC East leading New England Patriots 34-33 on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium.
The win keeps Miami, now at 7-6, squarely in the running for the AFC’s final playoff spot.
Quarterback Ryan Tannehill had a superb game for the Dolphins, completing 14 of 19 passes for 265 yards and three touchdowns, good for a passer rating of 155.1.
Tannehill played half the game on a banged up right ankle after it was stepped on late in the first half by right tackle Ja’Wuan James.
