PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Chris McCain knocked Sam Bradford out and Reshad Jones spoiled Mark Sanchez’s comeback bid.
Ryan Tannehill threw a go-ahead 4-yard touchdown pass to Jarvis Landry and the defense held on to give the Miami Dolphins a 20-19 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
Bradford injured his left shoulder and sustained a concussion on a hard hit by McCain in the third quarter and didn’t return, though X-rays on his shoulder were negative.
Sanchez drove the Eagles to the Dolphins 8 late in the fourth quarter, but Jones intercepted his pass in the end zone. Miami’s defense held again in the final minute.
The Dolphins (4-5) snapped a two-game losing streak with the upset over the Eagles (4-5).
