Ryan Tannehill hurt as Dolphins beat Cards on late kick, 26-23
Ryan Tannehill stood on the sideline in the final minutes, wiping his red eyes and accepting sympathetic hugs from his Miami teammates even as they pulled out a sloppy victory over Arizona.
Tannehill limped out of the game in the third quarter with a knee injury that probably will end his season, leaving Matt Moore to lead the late drive that led to a field goal as time ran out for a 26-23 victory Sunday.
Head coach Adam Gase said the Dolphins fear Tannehill tore his ACL, which would sideline him for the rest of the season.
After the Cardinals mounted touchdown drives of 99 and 50 yards to tie the game, Miami forced a punt to start at the Arizona 47 with 1:29 left.
Moore threw a 12-yard completion to Kenny Stills for a first down, and threw long to Stills for 29 yards to set up a 21-yard field goal by Andrew Franks on the final play.
[...] the Cardinals’ Chander Catanzaro missed a field-goal try and two extra points, with one blocked PAT returned for a two-point conversion.
Injury-depleted Arizona (5-7-1) lost ground in the race for the final NFC wild-card berth.
The Cardinals forced a punt, and Palmer hit J.J. Nelson for the touchdown, then connected with Johnson for a tying two-point conversion.
