With the Dolphins nursing a 6-0 lead, linebacker Philip Wheeler recovered a fumble following a botched handoff between Simms and Bilal Powell early in the third quarter. Miami capitalized two plays later as Tannehill connected on a slant route with Hartline for a 31-yard score before Wallace shed rookie Dee Milliner's attempt at a tackle later in the quarter to scamper in from 28 yards out.

The Dolphins maintained possession for over 24 of the 30 minutes of the first half but saw rookie Caleb Sturgis connect on only 2-of-3 field-goal attempts. Sturgis' 43-yard kick was set up by linebacker Dannell Ellerbe, who reeled in Smith's NFL-leading 19th interception during the final minute of the half.
