Alec Ingold scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 3-yard run with 4:00 left, and Jason Sanders kicked three field goals to make up for three botched kicks by Miami's special teams on Sunday as Miami beat the New England Patriots 15-10 in a key division matchup. New England (1-4) still had two more chances to take the lead after the Dolphins' missed on the 2-point attempt, but the first ended after a replay review overturned a catch that had been ruled a touchdown, and the second died at the Miami 11 when Jacoby Brisset hit Hunter Henry for 25 yards with 4 seconds left- in the middle of the field, with no opportunity to stop the clock. The Dolphins scored the final 13 points of the game, while their defense stopped the Patriots offense on every 2nd-half drive after a field goal to open the 3rd quarter. Making his second start replacing Tua Tagovailoa, Tyler Huntley completed 18 of 31 passes for 194 yards and an interception. Tyreek Hill caught six passes for 69 yards, and Jaylen Wright ran for 86 and Raheem Mostert added 80 on the ground for the Dolphins, 2-3. Miami had lost three in a row while shuffling through three backup quarterbacks since Tagovailoa sustained his third diagnosed concussion in Week 3. The Patriots celebrated a go-ahead touchdown pass with 63 seconds left, but replays showed Ja’Lynn Polk’s second heel came down on the end line. Sanders’ 54-yard field goal on Miami’s first drive gave the Dolphins, whose only other win came on a Week 1 kick with no time left, its first lead of the season. But when Sanders went back out at the end of the first quarter for a 41-yard attempt, he doinked it off the left upright. The Dolphins also botched another field goal attempt when long-snapper Blake Ferguson rolled the ball to the holder and Sanders didn’t even get a chance to swing his leg. Miami also had a blocked punt, setting up the Patriots at the Dolphins’ 23. But after a drive that included two offensive holding penalties and just five plays, Joey Slye pulled a 33-yard field goal attempt wide right. Dolphins Running back De’Von Achane left with a concussion in the first half and did not return. Safety Jevon Holland left the game with a hand injury and did not return. WR Odell Beckham Jr. was active for the first time this season and was targeted twice, but did not have a catch.
