39+ min ago (253+ words) A mostly dull game had a fantastic finish in Miami today, as the Saints stormed back from a big deficit but came up just short. The Dolphins jumped out to a 16-0 lead at halftime and appeared to be ready to coast to an easy win, but the Saints turned it on in the second half, and when a late touchdown pass from Tyler Shough to Devaughn Vele narrowed the score to 19-17, all the Saints needed was a two-point conversion to force overtime. Unfortunately for New Orleans, Shough's two-point conversion attempt was intercepted and returned for a defensive two-point conversion, giving the Dolphins a 21-17 lead. The Saints then onside kicked, recovered, and got close enough that a pass from Shough to Chris Olave could have been caught in the end zone for a game-winning touchdown. But Olave couldn't reel it in,…...
