DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins want to be known as 60-minute men.
At Green Bay, the Dolphins went 66 minutes instead. Miami had plenty of staying power Sunday in its overtime victory, a big change after consecutive losses at home, when second-half lapses made for very unhappy endings.
The Dolphins twice came from behind, and for the first time this season, they outscored an opponent after halftime. Dan Carpenter’s 44-yard field goal six minutes into overtime gave Miami a 23-20 victory.
The Dolphins (3-2) will likely need four solid quarters again Sunday to beat AFC North leader Pittsburgh (4-1). In back-to-back defeats against the Jets and Patriots, the Dolphins shriveled under the glare of prime time.
