The Miami Dolphins greatly bolstered their chances of returning to the NFL playoffs with a come-from-behind 26-25 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday.
It was made possible by a seemingly impossible pass by quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick that was hauled in by wide receiver Mack Hollins.
Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, no stranger to late-game heroics, reacted on social media to Fitzpatrick’s play.
I know I’m late but best no look pass of all time 😂😂😂

The Fins were shorthanded coming into Saturday’s contest, and they became even more shorthanded late in the game when linebacker Elandon Roberts had to leave the game with an apparently serious knee injury.
Miami entered the fourth quarter down by a field goal, and after exchanging the lead with the Raiders, it went ahead for good in the final seconds when Jason Sanders converted the game-winning field goal.
The Dolphins are now 10-5, and although they still only hold the third and final AFC wild card spot, they now have some real hope going into Week 17 against the first-place Buffalo Bills.
