Cowboys 20, Dolphins 19: Cowboys regain the lead

This 17-play drive was the longest drive for the Cowboys in the regular season. The Cowboys converted two penalties during the drive, including one for a personal foul. CeeDee Lamb recorded two receptions for 25 yards during the drive. – Tyler Dragon
Dolphins 19, Cowboys 13: Brandon Aubrey stays perfect
Rookie kicker Brandon Aubrey has gone perfect after succeeding on all 33 of his field goal attempts this season … putting the Cowboys just one point behind the Dolphins in the process. Aubrey hit a 33-yard field goal with 12:31 remaining to keep the Cowboys’ lead. – Jim Renking
Dolphins maintain nine-point lead in the fourth quarter
The Dolphins lead 19-10 after the third quarter. The third quarter saw three field goals. A field goal from Jason Sanders of the Dolphins achieved a pair of points, and Brandon Aubrey of the Cowboys hit a field goal from 43 yards out. Aubrey has been successful on all 32 of his field goal attempts this season. However, it was the Dolphins who increased their lead after halftime. The Dolphins achieved 97 yards in the quarter compared to 77 for the Cowboys. Tua Tagovailoa passed for 96 yards, with 55 yards going to Tyreek Hill who had five receptions. – Tyler Dragon
“Let’s go!” Why Dak Prescott uses a unique tone to initiate plays
You don’t have to be a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan to hear it. “Yes! Let’s gooo.” This is how the tone that quarterback Dak Prescott uses to start the Cowboys’ offensive drives begins. Thanks to the precision of the sideline microphones and Prescott’s loud voice, you don’t need to have the volume turned up on your TV to hear it. – Lorenzo Reyes
Dolphins 19, Cowboys 10: Jason Sanders scores fourth field goal
Jason Sanders improved to 4-4 after scoring a 35-yard field goal towards the end of the third quarter. The kick came after a drive where Tua Tagovailoa found Tyreek Hill and Durham Smythe for receptions of 18 and 21 yards. The Dolphins’ attack stalled after Tyreek Hill was stopped behind the line of scrimmage and Cedrick Wilson Jr. fell incomplete. – Victoria Hernandez
Dolphins 16, Cowboys 10: Brandon Aubrey cuts Miami’s lead
The Cowboys were penalized for illegal motion at the most inopportune time. Dak Prescott managed to escape the Dolphins’ defensive pressure and move towards the end zone, but the play never happened. Dallas had to settle for a 43-yard field goal from Brandon Aubrey to cut their deficit to 16-10 with 5:28 left in the third quarter. Aubrey has succeeded on all 32 of his field goal attempts this season. – Safid Deen
Dolphins
Cowboys 7: Jason Sanders Scores Third Field Goal from Over 50 Yards
The Dolphins extended their lead in the third quarter. It took the Dolphins only five plays to reach field goal range. Tua Tagovailoa completed two passes to Tyreek Hill to get Miami into scoring position. After Dallas stopped the Dolphins on third down, Jason Sanders came in and kicked a field goal from 54 yards to increase Miami’s lead to 16-7. Sanders hit three field goals over 50 yards in the game. He is the first Miami player to score three field goals over 50 yards in a single game, according to the TV broadcast. – Tyler Dragon
Halftime: Dolphins Lead Cowboys 13-7
The Dolphins scored a late touchdown to take the lead over the Cowboys, but as is often the case in American football in 2023, the drive was not without controversy. A penalty for roughing the passer was called on Micah Parsons, who showed visible frustration with the call, and Fox rules expert Dean Blandino also challenged the decision, stating that Parsons was within the rules. Despite everything, the first half featured some questionable calls, some big plays, and good football. All of that led to a Dolphins lead of 13-7 at halftime. – Joe Rivera
Raheem Mostert Gives Dolphins the Lead with Touchdown Before Halftime
Raheem Mostert scored his twenty-first touchdown of the season and gave the Dolphins the lead for the first time in the game. The touchdown came on a 4-yard pass from Tua Tagovailoa. The running back made a move to the right before breaking to the left where he caught the ball with one hand in the back corner of the end zone. The touchdown came after Micah Parsons of the Cowboys was penalized for roughing the passer. On a previous play, Tagovailoa had to burn a timeout due to confusion among the receivers. – Joe Rivera
Jalen Waddle Injury Update: Dolphins Receiver Suffered Eye Injury
Dolphins wide receiver Jalen Waddle may be sidelined due to an eye injury. Waddle suffered the injury in the second quarter of Week 16’s game. Waddle’s ability to return to the game is currently in question according to the Dolphins. It appears Waddle was poked in the eye during a Dolphins drive in the red zone. – Joe Rivera
Tyreek Hill’s Touchdown Extends Dolphins Lead with Second Goal
The Dolphins scored their second touchdown of the game, a 52-yard field goal from Jason Sanders, near the end of the second quarter. The field goal came after Tua Tagovailoa made a 20-yard pass to Tyreek Hill for the star receiver’s first catch of the game. With questions surrounding Jalen Waddle’s return due to an eye injury, Miami’s offensive drive struggled to achieve much. Dallas leads 7-6. – Victoria Hernandez
CeeDee Lamb Makes History, Ties Dallas Legends Against Dolphins
With his touchdown in the first quarter, CeeDee Lamb has now scored in seven consecutive games. This is the longest active streak in the National Football League, according to the Dallas Cowboys. He joins Pro Bowl player Dez Bryant and Hall of Famer Terrell Owens as only the Cowboys to have scored in seven straight games. Earlier in the game against the Dolphins, Lamb became the sixth player in NFL history and the first in Dallas history to reach 5000 receiving yards in his first four seasons. Lamb joins Rams legend Torry Holt and current stars Michael Thomas, Justin Jefferson, as well as Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Randy Moss in surpassing this milestone. – Victoria Hernandez
Loss
Dolphins Ball in the Red Zone
Raheem Mostert was injured. Jaylen Waddle was poked in the eye. Mike McDaniel decided to go ahead with the offense on fourth and fifth down in the red zone. The attempt failed. Tua Tagovailoa connected a pass to Cedrick Wilson on a drop play, but Wilson veered out of bounds on the play. It’s a missed opportunity for the Dolphins in the red zone when they could have settled for three points. – Safed Deen
End of the First Quarter: Cowboys Lead Dolphins 7-0
The stars shined in Dallas and Miami in the first quarter. CeeDee Lamb scored after Tua Tagovailoa delivered a 50-yard bomb to Jaylen Waddle that set the stage for a field goal for the Dolphins. It was an entertaining and exciting first quarter, but the Cowboys lead 7-0. – Joe Rivera
CeeDee Lamb Scores After Short Pass from Dak Prescott
The Cowboys’ offense made up for its mistake on the first drive. Dallas quickly reached the red zone in three plays. Dak Prescott threw a short pass over the middle to CeeDee Lamb, and the wide receiver ran for 49 yards to score. Lamb’s touchdown put the Cowboys ahead 7-3 with 1:30 left in the first quarter. Lamb already has four receptions, 93 yards, and a touchdown. Lamb has scored in seven consecutive games. – Tyler Dragon
Dolphins Score First Points, Leading 3-0
The Dolphins crossed midfield with a 50-yard pass from Tua Tagovailoa to Jaylen Waddle, but they stalled at midfield. Miami sent Jason Sanders out to attempt a 57-yard field goal, but they realized they were short a player on the field and had to call a timeout. Nevertheless, Sanders succeeded in kicking a 57-yarder to give Miami a 3-0 lead with 2:50 remaining in the first quarter. This kick almost turned out to be a mistake for Miami, but they paid the price. – Safed Deen
Cowboys Fumble at the Goal Line
The Cowboys appeared poised to score. But the football gods had other plans. After Tony Pollard was stopped at the goal line on an option play, the Cowboys lost the ball after a failed exchange between Dak Prescott and Hunter Luepke. – Joe Rivera
Tariq Hill Injury Update: Dolphins Player Ready for Game
After missing the Week 15 game against the New York Jets due to an ankle injury, Dolphins player Tariq Hill announced he is ready to participate in the game against the Cowboys. Hill has a lot of work to do to reach the single-season receiving yards number. Calvin Johnson holds the record with 1,964 receiving yards. Before today’s game, Hill has 1,542 receiving yards this season. – Joe Rivera
