Worth the Wait! Bucs Beat Dolphins

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, 30-20, at Hard Rock Stadium. It was a win – and a winning streak – a long time in the making.

Patrick Murray's 35-yard field goal with four seconds left in regulation broke a 20-20 tie, and the Buccaneers tacked on seven extra points when they recovered a fumble in the end zone on the ensuing kickoff. Miami had scored 13 unanswered points in the second half to tie the game with three minutes left. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick drove the Buccaneers 58 yards in those remaining three minutes, with two critical completions to rookie wide receiver Chris Godwin to set up Murray's game-winner.
