The Miami Dolphins were leading the Arizona Cardinals 21-9 in the fourth quarter when Carson Palmer led a 99-yard touchdown drive. The score narrowed Miami’s lead to 21-15, but Chandler Catanzaro’s PAT attempt was blocked, and the Dolphins ran it back for two points.
Dolphins block Cardinals kick, run it back for 2 points
It wasn’t the way Arizona wanted to finish a 99-yard touchdown drive.
Jeanna Kelley has been covering the Falcons for The Falcoholic since 2011 and the NFL for SB Nation since 2015.
After the kick was blocked, the ball bounced along, and Miami defensive back Walt Aikens was able to scoop it up and return it for two points with some blocking help from his teammates.
Instead of cutting the Dolphins’ lead to 21-17, Miami extended the lead over the Cardinals to 23-17. It wouldn’t hold, though. A 50-yard Cardinals drive and a successful Palmer pass to David Johnson for a two-point conversion tied the game up, 23-23.
