Ryan Fitzpatrick keeps Dolphins' playoff hopes alive in wild comeback as Raiders melt down late

In a wild final 10 minutes, the Miami Dolphins benched their quarterback, committed a critical defensive penalty and allowed an 85-yard TD.

And they won, 26-25, saving their playoff hopes in what has been a miraculous season, moving their record to 10-5.

The Las Vegas Raiders, who fell to 7-8, appeared to be ready to beat Miami and remain in the playoff race after Daniel Carlson’s field goal gave them a 25-22 lead with 19 seconds left.

But the Raiders committed a terrible face mask penalty and allowed a 34-yard catch in the final seconds to improbably blow the lead.
