Chad Ryland booted a 34-yard field goal with no time remaining to give the Arizona Cardinals a 28-27 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon at Miami Gardens, Fla.
The winning kick was Ryland's second straight and third of the season. He made a field goal to beat the San Francisco 49ers on Oct. 6 and another to knock off the Los Angeles Chargers last Monday.
Kyler Murray completed 26 of 36 passes for 307 yards and two touchdowns for Arizona (4-4), which won for the third time in the past four games. The Cardinals never led until Ryland's kick went through the uprights.
Marvin Harrison Jr. had six receptions for 111 yards and one touchdown, Trey McBride caught nine passes for 124 yards and Michael Wilson had a touchdown catch for the Cardinals (4-4).
James Conner added a rushing score for Arizona.
Miami's Tua Tagovailoa returned from a concussion and completed 28 of 38 passes for 234 yards and one touchdown as the Dolphins (2-5) achieved a season-high point total. Raheem Mostert rushed for two touchdowns and De'Von Achane totaled 147 yards (97 yards, 50 receiving) and caught a touchdown pass for Miami, which lost for the fifth time in the past six games.
Tagovailoa missed the previous four games after sustaining a concussion in a Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Miami scored 40 total points in the contests he missed.
The Cardinals moved within 27-25 on Conner's 2-yard scoring run with 8:47 left in the game. The defense forced a punt and Arizona took over at its own 11-yard line with 5:01 remaining.
Back-to-back plays in which Harrison caught an 18-yard pass and Conner ripped off a 17-yard run moved the Cardinals to the Miami 33. Murray's 7-yard keeper on third down gave Arizona a first down at the 20, setting up Ryland's latest clutch kick.
Earlier, Ryland's 57-yard field goal on the first possession of the third quarter pulled the Cardinals within 13-10.
Tagovailoa answered with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Achane to boost the lead to 10 with 8:31 left.
When the Dolphins next had the ball, Aaron Brewer's errant shotgun snap was batted through the end zone by Tagovailoa with the safety pulling Arizona within 20-12 with 6:15 left.
Harrison made a diving 22-yard catch on a Murray aerial in the corner of the end zone to pull the Cardinals within two with 2:08 left. Miami's defense stuffed James Conner's ensuing two-point conversion run.
The Dolphins responded with Mostert's 6-yard run to take a 27-18 advantage with 12:22 left in the game.
Mostert's 1-yard TD run and two Jason Sanders field goals helped Miami to a 13-7 halftime lead. Arizona's score came on Murray's 6-yard scoring pass to Wilson.
