Description
Kyler Murray drove the Arizona Cardinals 71 yards on 13 plays to set up a game-winning field goal by Chad Ryland as time expired, spoiling the return of Tua Tagovailoa in a gut-wrenching 28-27 loss that dropped the Dolphins to 2-5.
Tagovailoa looked good in his anxiously-awaited return from a concussion, completing 28 of 38 passes for 234 yards and leading the offense to its highest-scoring output of the season.
Tagovailoa lost a fumble on the opening drive that Miami recovered, and a snap went over his head in the third quarter, resulting in a safety that led to eight unanswered points for the Cardinals that brought them right back into the game.

Ryland’s game-winning kick at the gun was his second in a row, and it came after Murray led two scoring drives in the fourth quarter to rally the Cardinals from a nine-point deficit.
