Alec Ingold’s late touchdown and three field goals from Jason Sanders propelled the Miami Dolphins to a 15-10 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday.

The Patriots had chances to take the lead late but fell short, with their final drive stalling near the goal line. 

Tyler Huntley stepped in at quarterback for Miami, managing the offense effectively enough to snap the team’s three-game losing streak. He finished 18-of-31 for 194 scoreless yards, though he did throw an interception and had another turnover-worthy play.
