The 12-play, 64-yard drive ate up the final 3:27 of the game.

The Miami score came after Dallas had used 17 plays and 7:39 on the clock to go 69 yards.

Dak Prescott threw a beautiful 8-yard TD pass to Brandin Cooks and after Brandon Aubrey's PAT, the Cowboys led 20-19.

What a throw. What a catch.
