"MIAMI GARDENS - It took a stop on a 2-point conversion and another stop after an onside kick against the lowly New Orleans Saints, but the Miami Dolphins stacked another win to keep miniscule playoff hopes alive. Running back De'Von Achane rushed for 134 yards and a touchdown, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick intercepted a late 2-point try and the Dolphins stood tall on a fourth-and-1 sneak in an ugly 21-17 win over the Saints on Sunday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium."
"Miami (5-7), coming back from the bye week, extended its winning streak to three as the team entered the Week 13 slate of games three games out of an AFC wild-card spot. Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was just 12 of 23 for 157 yards and an interception, while Saints rookie Tyler Shough was 26 of 38 for 239 yards, two touchdowns and an interception."
"Miami's defense forced two takeaways, plus an additional one on Fitzpatrick's interception of Shough that he took all the way back to the Saints' end zone for 2 points for Miami. As New Orleans trailed, 19-11, Shough threw a 15-yard touchdown to the back of the end zone to wide receiver Devaughn Vele. It was 21-17 as the Saints executed an onside kick, which a Dolphins player was said to have touched, allowing New Orleans to retain possession before the ball traveled 10 yards."
Miami improved to 5-7 and extended its winning streak to three games. De'Von Achane rushed for 134 yards and a touchdown while the offense produced a 21-17 victory. Minkah Fitzpatrick intercepted a late two-point attempt and returned it for two points, and the defense forced other turnovers. Tua Tagovailoa completed 12 of 23 passes for 157 yards with an interception. Saints rookie Tyler Shough threw for 239 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. New Orleans recovered an onside kick after a contested touch but failed on a fourth-and-1 sneak as Chop Robinson stuffed the attempt.
