End of an era: Tyreek Hill and 3 other Players from Miami Dolphins departed from the team after…..
The Miami Dolphins hosted the Las Vegas Raiders at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Dolphins needed a win to stay alive in the AFC Playoff hunt.
And they go it.
It was Dolphins 34, Raiders 19, in a somewhat lackluster game in which Miami scored on four very long possessions.
The game was sealed when Tua Tagovailoa found a wide-open Jonnu Smith for a 57-yard touchdown with less than four minutes to play on a bust by the Raiders defense.
Once again, Miami’s defense was fairly solid.

The Dolphins entered the game as a 7-point favorite against the downtrodden Raiders.
They’ll be similarly favored against the Patriots, at home, next Sunday.
New England lost to the Los Angeles Rams, 28-22, on Sunday.
The Dolphins entered the game 2-3 with Tua Tagovailoa and 1-3 without their starting quarterback.
Earlier this week, former Dolphins defensive back DeShon Elliott said the team was “soft” last season.
Miami is 4-6. The Raiders are 2-8.
