Did You Notice?
• Dak Prescott was 20 of 32 for 253 yards and two touchdowns for the Cowboys, but the Dolphins hit a 29-yarder as time expired to secure a playoff berth with a 22-20 victory in Miami. Dallas has already clinched a playoff spot but fell a half-game behind Philadelphia in the NFC East.
• Prescott was also credited with a lost fumble inches from the end zone on the opening possession.
The Dolphins recover the fumble at the goal line!
