Cardinals 28-27 Dolphins (Oct. 27, 2024) Game Recap

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Kyler Murray put the Cardinals in position for a game-winning field goal from Chad Ryland as time expired for the second straight game and Arizona thwarted Tua Tagovailoa’s return from a concussion and beat the Miami Dolphins 28-2. 27 on Sunday.

Murray led two shots on goal in the fourth quarter to pull the Cardinals back from a nine-point deficit. The first ended with a 2-yard touchdown run by James Conner that put Arizona (4-4) up 27-25. The second was a methodical 13-play, 71-yard march that ended with Ryland’s 34-yard kick. A week earlier, Ryland was successful on the last play of the game from 32 yards and beat the Los Angeles Chargers 17:15.

Tagovailoa threw for 234 yards and the Dolphins (2-5) posted their best offensive performance of the season in his first start since he was diagnosed with the third known concussion of his career on Sept. 12 against the Buffalo Bills. He was scheduled to return to play on Monday after doctors deemed it safe. He approved the concussion protocol on Friday after an examination by an independent neurological consultant.

Tagovailoa was sharp for the most part, completing 28 of 38 passes. He lost a fumble on the first drive that Miami recovered, and in the third quarter a snap went over his head, resulting in a safety.
