Dolphins Swim By Raiders

     The Miami Dolphins squeezed by the Las Vegas Raiders 20-13 at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday. The Dolphins had a bye last week and previously played the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs two weeks ago in Frankfurt, Germany. The Raiders had won two straight contests with new interim head coach Anthony Pierce since he replaced Josh McDaniels. 

     Las Vegas(5-6) went in front 3-0 at 6:46 of the first quarter on a 34-yard field goal from Daniel Carlson. Miami(7-3) took the lead 7-3 with 2:03 left in the first. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa tossed a 38-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Tyreek Hill. 

     The Raiders reclaimed the lead 10-7 with one second to go in the quarter. Quarterback Aidan O'Connell found wide receiver Davante Adams for a 46-yard pass play.

     In the second quarter, Tagovailoa connected an 11-yard touchdown pass to running back Salvon Ahmed on the right side for a 14-10 lead with 2:28 remaining. Carlson would nail a 47-yard field goal with nine seconds remaining in the first half and the Raiders trailed 14-13. 

     There was limited scoring during the second half by both clubs. Jason Sanders booted two field goals in the third quarter for a 20-13 advantage.
