The Cincinnati Bengals seemed to have had better numbers across the board -- more total yards, more first downs, more passing yards, and more rushing yards -- but also more turnovers.

The Miami Dolphins eked out a 22-20 victory on Thursday night by pulling off a walk-off safety with 6:38 remaining in overtime. Cameron Wake sacked Andy Dalton on the decisive play in Miami.

"You just have to do whatever you can to get to the quarterback," Wake said. "It couldn't have come at a better time. How much better could it have been than to have a D-lineman seal the deal?"

The Dolphins stayed in the game thanks to the four turnovers that ultimately helped decide the outcome. Dalton was his own worst enemy, tossing three interceptions while failing to throw any touchdowns. He also lost a fumble. Still, he racked up 338 yards in the air to help get his team's offense firing on all cylinders.

Meanwhile, Ryan Tannehill managed to do just enough. The Dolphins quarterback never had any touchdowns but was efficient enough to have no turnovers and threw for over 200 yards. Mike Wallace was his main target, notching 6 catches for 82 yards including one long 40-yard play.

The Dolphins were holding on to their season - barely - after entering the game with a losing record. Now at 4-4, Miami has skyrocketed in the standings and is now tied for the second wild card playoff spot in the AFC with exactly half of a season remaining. In the AFC East, the 6-2 New England Patriots are leading the way ahead of the 4-4 Jets and Dolphins.
