The Miami Dolphins wanted to avoid overtime at all costs. The Dolphins had lost their last two games in overtime and would prefer to take care of their business in four quarters if possible.
The Dolphins took a 17-6 lead into the fourth quarter and looked to be in control until Andy Dalton found AJ Green in the end zone to make the score 17-13 with over 14 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
The Bengals got the ball three more times with a chance to take the lead and the Dolphins defense held them to a punt, missed field goal, and an interception that sealed the game in the final minute.
Next week, the Dolphins (2-3) are home against the Rams and the Bengals (3-2) travel to Cleveland to play the Browns.
