Madrid got a show, baby. In the NFL’s first regular-season game in Spain, the Dolphins edged Washington 16–13 in overtime at the Bernabéu — a big-stage grind that flipped when Jack Jones jumped the first offensive snap of OT for a pick and Riley Patterson coolly banged the 29-yard game-winner. Postcard stuff for Miami, history for the league. (espn.com)

Before the walk-off, this was a body-blow bout. Miami rode De'Von Achane (21 carries, 120 yards; 5 catches, 45 yards) as the speed merchant kept slashing the edges, while Patterson stacked early threes. Washington answered behind Marcus Mariota (20/30, 213 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT; 49 rushing) and a perfectly dialed strike to Deebo Samuel Sr. (7/74/1) to go up 13–6 out of the half. The ‘Fins countered in the fourth when bruiser Ollie Gordon II (9 carries, 45 yards, 1 TD) punched in the equalizer, and from there, every yard felt like a suitcase at customs.

The turning-point tension? Mariota ripped a 44-yard keeper to set up goal-to-go, but Miami’s front stood tall with a stonewall on third-and-1 and a fourth-down breakup at the 1. And with the clock bleeding, Matt Gay had a 56-yarder to win it — pushed wide — setting the table for overtime and the Jones/Patterson closing act. Madrid held its breath, Miami took the bow.

Big Dill of the Game: De’Von Achane. The stat line pops — 165 scrimmage yards — but it was the timing that hit different: chain-moving bursts all afternoon and fresh legs in OT to tee up the winner. Shoutout to Riley Patterson for the ice and Jack Jones for the steal, but Achane was the engine that got Miami across the Spanish finish line.
