'Miami Miracle!': The insane final play that stunned America

Miami Dolphins have produced a brilliant last-gasp touchdown to beat New England 34-33 in the NFL and prevent the Patriots clinching a 10th successive AFC East title.

Miami went 69 yards with the last action of the game for a touchdown that included two lateral passes.

Kenyan Drake was the last recipient and secured a dramatic victory that overshadowed Tom Brady’s latest record-breaking performance.

Coach Adam Gase said his team had been practicing the play all year for such a situation.

“Those guys executed it as well as you could,” Gase said. “When you practice it, you don’t really know how it’s going to turn out. Kenyan realised he had a lane and took it.”

The internet was truly in meltdown mode as fans took to Twitter to share their amazement at the incredible play.

The Patriots quarterback surpassed Peyton Manning’s mark of 579 touchdown throws with his first of three scoring passes in the first half.

Kansas City Chiefs clinched a play-off place on Sunday as they produced some late drama of their own to earn a 27-24 overtime victory against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Chiefs defence forced a turnover but Harrison Butker missed from 43 yards with a potential game-winning field goal.

Butker redeemed himself with a 35-yard field goal in overtime and the Chiefs defence kept Baltimore out to secure an 11th win of the season.

New Orleans Saints clinched back-to-back NFC South titles and their place in the post season with a come-from-behind 28-14 victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Saints trailed 14-3 at halftime but they scored 25 unanswered points with three second-half touchdown drives and a 36-yard field goal by Will Lutz.
