Prescott Leads Cowboys on Dramatic Drive
In a nail-biting finish, the Dallas Cowboys found themselves trailing the Miami Dolphins 19-13 with just over 11 minutes left on the clock. Quarterback Dak Prescott took charge, leading his team on a remarkable 17-play drive that spanned almost eight minutes. Despite missing out on a touchdown attempt on 4th-and-goal, a penalty on Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard gave the Cowboys another chance. However, Prescott faced heavy pressure from Andrew Van Ginkel and Bradley Chubb and was sacked. Undeterred, on 3rd-and-goal, Prescott connected with Brandin Cooks, who made an incredible catch between two defenders, giving the Cowboys the go-ahead touchdown.
Tua Tagovailoa’s Heroics Seal the Win
With just 3:27 remaining, it was Tua Tagovailoa’s turn to shine. The Dolphins’ quarterback orchestrated a 12-play, 64-yard drive, converting crucial third downs along the way. The drive set up kicker Jason Sanders for a game-winning field goal from 29 yards out, which he confidently nailed. Tagovailoa finished the game with an impressive 293 passing yards and a touchdown pass to Raheem Mostert. Mostert led the team in rushing with 46 yards on 11 carries, while wide receiver Tyreek Hill had a standout performance with nine receptions for 99 yards.
Dolphins Eyeing Playoff Success
The Dolphins’ victory not only secured their place in the playoffs but also kept alive their hopes for home-field advantage. If the Baltimore Ravens lose to the San Francisco 49ers, both teams could end the day with an 11-4 record. Additionally, the Dolphins are well-positioned to clinch the AFC East title. In a surprising turn of events, they might even contend for the NFC East title if the Philadelphia Eagles lose to the New York Giants on Monday.
