"First, after New Orleans cut the Dolphins lead to 19-17 with 1:17 left - and after a illegal procedure penalty because they're the 2-10 Saints - rookie quarterback Tyler Shough's 2-point conversion pass was intercepted by Minkah Fitzpatrick and returned 99 yards for two points for the Dolphins. That was Fitzpatrick's second big play in the game following a strip-sack. But ..."
"New Orleans' onside kick hit a Dolphin and the Saints Devaughn Vele recovered it at the Saints' 45-yard line. So they had the ball with 1:15 left, moved to the Dolphins 36-yard line and .... On fourth-and-1 with 34 seconds left, Shough tried a sneak in New Orleans' version of the Tush Push. The Dolphins interior defense held, it got the ball on downs and the game was over."
"On fourth-and-1 at the Saints 43 with three minutes to play, Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon was tackled for a 1-yard loss. New Orleans got the ball at the 44 down 19-11.That was similar to the previous game against Washington when Mike McDaniel went for it on fourth down and Gordon was similarly stopped, except that one was at the goal line with under two minutes to play."
The Miami Dolphins defeated the New Orleans Saints 21-17 after a dramatic final 77 seconds. Minkah Fitzpatrick intercepted Tyler Shough's 2-point pass and returned it 99 yards, adding two points following an earlier strip-sack. New Orleans recovered an onside kick and reached the Miami 36, but a fourth-and-1 sneak by Shough was stopped with 34 seconds remaining, preserving the Dolphins' lead. Earlier, a failed fourth-and-1 by Miami at the Saints 43 gave New Orleans field position to cut the lead. De'Von Achane rushed 22 times for 134 yards and a touchdown, surpassing 1,000 rushing yards and 1,300 yards from scrimmage.
