Dolphins stun Pats with miracle TD

-

Kenyan Drake ran the last 52 yards as the Dolphins scored on a pass and double lateral on a wild 69-yard final play Sunday to beat the Patriots, 34-33, in Miami.

It was the longest touchdown to win a game with no time remaining since the 1970 merger.

The Patriots were 16 seconds from clinching their 10th consecutiv­e AFC East title when the Dolphins pulled off their stunner. Ryan Tannehill threw a 14-yard pass to Kenny Stills, who lateraled to DeVante Parker, who quickly lateraled to Drake . He found a seam and beat two Patriots to the corner of the end zone — defensive back J.C. Jackson and tight end Rob Gronkowski, who was on the field as part of New England’s prevent defense.

Tom Brady threw for 358 yards and three scores, but the stunned Patriots (9-4) lost in Miami for the fifth time in their past six visits. The Dolphins (7-6) came from behind five times to help their slim wildcard chances.

Chiefs 27, Ravens 24, OT: Harrison Butker atoned for a 43-yard miss as time expired in regulation with a 36-yard field goal in overtime, and the Chiefs stopped the Ravens on fourth down to clinch a playoff spot with a 27-24 victory Sunday in Kansas City, Mo.

Ben Roethlisbe­rger connected on a 48-yard hook-and-lateral that gave Boswell his chance, but he lost his footing and sent the kick into the line. Saints 28, Buccaneers 14: Drew Brees threw for one touchdown and ran for another to help the Saints rally from an 11-point halftime deficit to clinch their second straight NFC South title.
