After a sloppy first half, the Miami Dolphins played a cleaner game in the second half and overtime to survive with a 16-13 victory to improve to 4-7 and send the Washington Commanders to a 3-8 record after their sixth consecutive defeat.
The Tape Don't Lie. The Dolphins beat the Commanders in Spain. De'Von Achane is an emerging star. Jack Jones keeps making plays.
The Dolphins seized victory over the Commanders 16-13 in overtime to improve their record to 4-7 heading into the bye week. It was the first regular season NFL game contested in Spain, and the first international win for Miami since a 2014 victory over the Raiders at Wembley Stadium in London.
Jones, a cornerback, was the hero of the day, intercepting a pass by Marcus Mariota on the first play of overtime. Talk about sudden death: Seven seconds into the OT, the game was essentially over. All that remained was the inevitable field goal that enabled everyone in the rollicking Bernabeu stadium to exhale.
The Dolphins are finally afforded much-needed rest after traveling to Spain for a second straight win that offered momentum, team-building for Miami going into the bye.
The Miami Dolphins and Washington Commanders needed overtime to settle the NFL's first-ever Madrid game. Here's how it happened.
