MIAMI GARDENS, Florida (AP) ― With the Miami Dolphins needing any kind of score to end a four-game losing streak, two points were plenty.
Cameron Wake sacked Andy Dalton for a safety with 6:38 left in overtime, and Miami beat the Cincinnati Bengals 22-20 on Thursday night.
On third-and-10 from the 8, Dalton retreated to the goal line and was tackled by Wake coming up the middle for the third overtime safety in NFL history. The officials immediately signaled the score, which was upheld following a replay review.
“We called a pressure, and the guys executed it well,” coach Joe Philbin said. “Cam had good pressure throughout the game and he made a play to end the game.”
