Dolphins Edge Commanders 16–13 in Overtime in NFL’s Spain Debut

A raucous Bernabéu crowd of roughly 80,000 saw a low-scoring contest decided by miscues culminating in a final kick.

Overview

  • Marcus Mariota threw an interception on the first play of overtime, setting up Riley Patterson’s game-winning field goal for Miami.
  • Washington returner Mike Sainristil fumbled a late punt that Miami recovered, and Matt Gay later missed a 56-yard attempt at the end of regulation.
  • The result moved Miami to 4–7 and dropped Washington to 3–8, leaving both with slim playoff hopes as they head into bye weeks.
  • Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel drew criticism in some coverage for going for it on fourth down near the goal line late in regulation instead of attempting a short field goal.
  • Madrid closed this year’s expanded NFL international slate, following games in Berlin, São Paulo, Dublin and multiple dates in London.
