Jason Sanders delivered big time for the Miami Dolphins, who earned a playoff spot with a 22-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
Sanders’ fifth field goal was a 29-yarder as time expired and it made the difference for the Fish.

The 12-play, 64-yard drive ate up the final 3:27 of the game.
The Miami score came after Dallas had used 17 plays and 7:39 on the clock to go 69 yards.
Dak Prescott threw a beautiful 8-yard TD pass to Brandin Cooks and after Brandon Aubrey’s PAT, the Cowboys led 20-19.
What a throw. What a catch.

That set the stage for the Dolphins drive and kick by Sanders that lifted the Dolphins to 11-4.
