Miami’s defense came through yesterday to give the club a 20-13 victory over the Raiders.
The Dolphins had three turnovers but equalized that number with three takeaways on defense, including one to seal the victory.
Las Vegas had three chances to tie the game in the fourth quarter but couldn’t get the ball into the end zone.
With a chance on fourth down in Miami territory with 3:12 left, Jaelan Phillips intercepted Aiden O’Connell as he desperately tried to throw a ball to avoid getting sacked.
The Raiders had one last chance inside two minutes with no timeouts remaining, and got into Miami territory with O’Connell hitting Davante Adams for 20 yards on third-and-6.
A couple of plays later, Jalen Ramsey intercepted an O’Connell deep pass to seal the victory.
O’Connell finished 24-of-41 for 271 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions.
On the other side, Tua Tagovailoa completed 25-of-39 passes for 325 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.
