Miami Dolphins vs. Cincinnati Bengals: Live Score, Highlights and Analysis
Andrew Weber-US PRESSWIRE
After back-to-back heartbreaking overtime losses, the Miami Dolphins averted disaster today thanks to a game-sealing interception by Reshad Jones.
Andy Dalton led a Bengals resurgence in the fourth quarter, but one errant pass prevented him from lifting Cincinnati to a comeback win in Paul Brown Stadium.
The 'Phins and Bengals combined for just 547 yards of total offense, converted six-of-27 third-down conversion attempts and went three-for-five in the redzone.
However, Ryan Tannehill led the Dolphins through the wreckage and picked up his second career victory.
Miami improves to 2-3 and Cincinnati falls to 3-2.
Bengals 13 - Dolphins 17

Here we go.
Fair, but shouldn't a kicker making $2.5 million deliver when it counts?
I don't blame Dan Carpenter for missing a 53 yard field goal. A 53 yd attempt is low %. I do blame the coaching staff for trying the kick.

The Dolphins go three-and-out thanks to a drop by Charles Clay, who was wide open down the seam.
