"Cornerback Jack Jones came up huge with an interception in overtime Sunday, bailing out coach Mike McDaniel's late-game decision to go for it on fourth down, a decision that didn't work out after running back Ollie Gordon was stuffed on fourth and goal from the 1-yard line. The result was overtime in a game that should have been won in regulation. Nice job of resilience for the Dolphins. Nice run game, too, totaling169 yards rushing. And another nice job by linebacker Jordyn Brooks (20 tackles)."
"Dolphins were opportunistic late with the Jack Jones interception of Marcus Mariota and field goal to win it. It wasn't quite the resounding victory last week was against the Buffalo Bills, but Miami now has its first winning streak of the season. Some momentum is brewing for the Dolphins coming back home going into the bye, with the Saints and Jets to come."
"Mike McDaniel's decision-making continues to border on the bizarre, but Jack Jones keeps making massive plays. The game should have been over in regulation, as the Washington offense was purely mediocre and a 16-13 deficit after a Dolphins gimme field goal with 100 seconds left would have been a challenge to match, much less beat with a touchdown. The Dolphins survived an awful Commanders team and are 4-7, and will be favored to win their next two games, too."
Jack Jones intercepted Marcus Mariota in overtime, securing a Dolphins victory after a failed fourth-and-goal attempt by Ollie Gordon at the 1-yard line. Coach Mike McDaniel's late-game decision to go for it on fourth down created overtime despite a game that should have ended in regulation. Miami totaled 169 rushing yards and Jordyn Brooks recorded 20 tackles. The team converted an opportunistic late interception into a game-winning field goal and now carries its first winning streak of the season into the bye. De'Von Achane produced big runs while the Washington offense remained largely ineffective.
