Dolphins nip Cowboys 22-20 on Jason Sanders’ last-second field goal, secure playoff spot

Associated Press  

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Jason Sanders had waited all season for this moment. On a Miami Dolphins team that scores more touchdowns than any other in the NFL, the former All-Pro kicker hadn’t needed to attempt many field goals. Sanders entered Sunday’s matchup against the Dallas Cowboys with just 21 field goal attempts on the year, but Miami needed his booming right leg in its biggest game of the season, and he delivered. Dallas got back into the red zone early in the fourth quarter, but Miami’s defense held and the Cowboys settled for a field goal to get within 19-13. “It’s just finally good to get over that hump of the narrative and changing the narrative to be what we want it to be,” linebacker Bradley Chubb said, “and it’s just been dope to see this team come together, not worry about the outsiders, the naysayers and just do what we do and prepare like we’re a championship team each and every week.” INJURIES Dolphins: WR Robbie Chosen left in the first quarter to be evaluated for a concussion and did not return.. WR Jaylen Waddle left briefly after being poked in the eye in the second quarter.
