Watch: A Miami miracle as Dolphins douse Raiders in fabulous fashion

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.

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.

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.

The victory pushed the Dolphins to 10-5 and they face the Buffalo Bills in their regular-season finale.

The Raiders continue to stumble, tumble and bumble, fading to 7-8.
