The Miami Dolphins ended a three-game losing streak and kept their dim playoff hopes alive with a 23-15 victory over the Los Angeles Rams.

Tua Tagovailoa passed for 207 yards and completed 20 of 28 passes as the Dolphins improved to three wins and six losses for the season.

Tyreek Hill and Malik Washington scored touchdowns and Jason Sanders made three field goals, including two from 50 yards, to seal the victory at SoFi Stadium in California.

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 32 of 46 passes for 293 yards but did not throw a touchdown pass as their three-game winning streak ended.

The Dolphins remain second behind runaway leaders the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East, but still harbor hopes of clinching the final wild-card qualifying spot with seven games remaining.

“If we play our best ball, we can still beat anyone,” Dolphins defensive tackle Calais Campbell said.

“We just have to keep believing and keep fighting. The margin of error is zero. So it’s one game, but we have to keep it going.

“To go where we want to go, we have to keep fighting and believing.”
