    MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys . -- Idle for most of the past five seasons, backup quarterback Matt Moore came through on the final series Sunday for the Miami Dolphins.And his work is just beginning.With Ryan Tannehill sidelined by a knee injury that will likely end his season, the Dolphins turned to Moore, who directed the drive that led to a field goal on the final play to beat the Arizona Cardinals 26-23.On Saturday at the New York Jets, Moore will likely make his first start since 2011, the year before Tannehill was drafted. And the Dolphins (8-5) will be in the thick of the race for their first playoff berth in eight years.The Cardinals (5-7-1) are almost certain to spend the postseason at home after another ugly road loss.Here are things to know about both teams:SUPER SUB: Moore made 12 starts for the Dolphins in 2011, but has thrown only 35 passes since then, with Tannehill starting every game the past five years.Thats about to change. Tannehill limped off with a left knee injury in the third quarter after he was hit around the legs by defensive tackle Calais Campbell, and the Dolphins fear their quarterback tore his ACL. Hell undergo further testing Monday.Miami failed to pick up a first down in Moores first three series, but he threw completions of 12 and 29 yards to Kenny Stills in the last minute to set up Andrew Franks game-winning 21-yard field goal.When Matt came in, he brought energy and enthusiasm, tackle JaWuan James said. Hes a leader. Were confident in Matt.PLAYOFF RACE: Miami pulled into a tie with Denver in the race for the final AFC wild-card spot. The Broncos lost to Tennessee 13-10.The Dolphins finish the regular season with games against their three AFC East rivals.You talk about where were at as a team, you cant ask for much more, Moore said. The ball is in our court.Arizona, 1-5 in away games, will try to bounce back against New Orleans at home Sunday.This was pretty much a playoff game for us, and we knew we needed the W real bad, Campbell said.RUNNING DOWN THE CLOCK: With 10 seconds left, the Dolphins narrowly averted disaster while running one final play before the field goal.Moore briefly bobbled the snap and a teammate stepped on his foot, which caused a sloppy handoff to Darien Williams.Several seconds ticked off while Williams became entangled in a scrum, and there was only a second remaining when the Dolphins managed to call time out.Not the way you wanted that series to end, Moore said.I thought it was very questionable whether that second was on that clock, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said. Thank God the home teams do not run the clock, the NFL does, or youd really have a (controversy).PIVOTAL PLAY: After the Cardinals scored a touchdown to cut their deficit to 21-15, Jordan Phillips blocked Chandler Catanzaros extra-point kick, and Walt Aikens scooped up the ball and scored .I saw the ball, picked it up and the rest was history, Aikens said. I was tired. Its a long run for 2 points.The three-point swing turned out to be the difference in the game.CONTAINED: The Cardinals David Johnson came into the game leading the NFL with 15 touchdowns, but was kept out of the end zone. He rushed for 80 yards and caught passes for 41.Defenses are keying in on me a little bit more -- double-teaming me, putting their safety or DB on me, Johnson said. So I really do have to focus more on attention to detail.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine.

But the first two races on the Red Bull Ring went to Rosberg, who will have a much tougher time from the back.I was chipping away where I was losing time, and eventually I finally got into the position to go for pole and then the rain came, Hamilton said after clinching his fifth pole of the season and the 54th of his career.Its incredible how fast it dries up here, its like driving throughh fog. Wholesale Jerseys From China. It was very, very slippery, but it was drying up corner by corner. At the end it was just about getting that last lap. Im very happy.Rosberg was lucky just to get on the track after a crash in the morning practice left his car badly damaged, including a broken suspension, a common problem over the past two days.Even Lewis mechanics worked on my car and we got it ready 11 minutes before qualifying, said Rosberg, who holds a 24-point lead over Hamilton in the series standings as he looks for his first championship. He has five wins this season.Its unbelievable how the track got dry so quickly and we were able to get on softs in the end, Rosberg said. The five-place penalty will be very costly tomorrow but Ill try to make the best of it.Rosberg crashed after hitting a curb, although it wasnt over the new yellow ones. But Hamilton was critical of the curbs nevertheless.For me, those yellow curbs are quite dangerous, weve seen a couple of incidents already. I dont know how many more its going to take before a car ends up in the wall and perhaps someone gets hurt, he said.The idea is good because they definitely dont want us running wide and using the outside of the circuit, but perhaps another solution is going to be needed.Four-time champion Vettel said he should have taken more risks.In the end it was a bit of a gamble -- the later you ran the better, he said. But equally I could and should have taken more risks.There was more pace in the car for sure. If you look at the gaps, thats not down to the car performance. It mattered when you crossed the line and how much risk you took, so for sure I underperformed. Wholesale Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Womens Jerseys Stitched Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys 2019 Cheap NFL Womens Jerseys Wholesale NFL Gear Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale NFL White Jerseys Discount Jerseys NFL T-shirts From China China NFL Hoodies Nike NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
