What happens in Vegas … you would not believe it even if the Miami Dolphins told you how they won a game over the Las Vegas Raiders, 26-25, Saturday.
The Dolphins appeared sunk when Daniel Carlson kicked a field goal with 23 seconds left to give Las Vegas a 25-23 lead.
The #Raiders had a 99.9% win probability after their field goal with just over 20 seconds left in the game.

This is the same Raiders team that benefited from an absolutely bizarre defensive strategy by the New York Jets weeks ago.
This time lightning struck Las Vegas as Ryan Fitzpatrick, in for a mediocre Tua Tagovailoa, found Mack Hollins for 33 yards. A roughing the passer penalty for grabbing the veteran QB’s facemask tacked on another 15 yards.
HOW did Fitzpatrick get this throw off 🤯

After an incompletion, Jason Sanders came on and knocked through a 44-yard field goal with a second left that kept playoff destiny in Miami’s control.
