MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- 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.

LUCIE, Fla.MONT VENTOUX, France -- British rider Chris Froome showed why he remains the overwhelming Tour de France favourite by winning Sundays grueling 15th stage up to Mont Ventoux to extend his lead over main rival Alberto Contador. Froome attacked about two-thirds of the way up the mammoth 21-kilometre Ventoux, and his brutal acceleration was too much for two-time former champion Contador. The Spaniard dropped back and finished about one minute 40 seconds behind. Colombian Nairo Quintana was second, 29 seconds behind. "This is massive. Everyone wanted to win this stage today, on Bastille Day, being on top of Mont Ventoux," Froome said. "It really was an epic stage today." The win means Froome effectively made up the time he lost on Fridays sprint stage, when Contador caught him out with a surprise attack. "My objective today was to take a bit of time in the general classification, but I didnt think I could win the stage," Froome said. "I thought Quintana would win it. But then his legs started to go in the last two kilometres." Ventoux is one of the most famed climbs in the Tours 110-year history. Britains Tom Simpson collapsed and died on it during the 1967 Tour. Froome raised his right arm in the air when he clinched his second stage win of the race after winning a mountain stage in the Pyrenees on stage 8 with a similarly effective attack. "It was incredible today, incredible. This is the biggest victory of my career," Froome said. "This climb is so historical. It means so much to this race, especially being the 100th edition. I really cant believe this." He now leads Dutchman Bauke Mollema by 4 minutes, 14 seconds and Contador by 4:25. "It wasnt really about sending (Contador) a message but Im obviously going to take as much time as I can," Froome said. "Im really happy to have this advantage now." The longest stage of the race took riders over 242.5-kilometres from Givors in the winemaking Rhone Valley and ended in the Provence region. A nine-man breakaway group led early on, including sprint champion Peter Sagan, who has a massive lead in the green jersey competition for sprinters, and French veteran Sylvain Chavanel. Touted as one of cyclings showmen, Sagan lifted his front wheel and did a wheelie, followed by a salute to the crowd in a rare moment of frivolity on a bitterly hard day. Froome said he needed "five or 10 minutes on the oxygen" mask after the stage. The small group of front-runners split open on Venntoux, leaving Chavanel alone in front.dddddddddddd. Andy Schleck, the 2010 Tour champion, was dropped straight away while the 36-year-old Cadel Evans, the 2011 winner, then faded along with Chavanel. "It was a terrible day for me," Evans said. With about 15 kilometres to go. Froome, meanwhile, only had two Sky teammates -- Australian Richie Porte and Britains Peter Kennaugh -- to help him. Then Quintana surged ahead. He attacked Froome four times on the last climb in the Pyrenean mountains on stage 9 up to Bagneres-de-Bigorre, but could not beat him. It proved to be the same story this time. "We talked a little bit. I was just trying to motivate him," Froome said. "I was telling him Come on man, keep pushing. But in the last 2k he just couldnt really hold the wheel anymore." At one point, Contador still had three teammates with him but Froome would lose Kennaugh shortly after, leaving just Porte. Then the yellow jersey group blew wide open. Suddenly, Froome and Porte were alone with Contador. With seven kilometres to go, Froome launched a devastating attack on Contador -- rocketing up the slope as fans threw water over him and others lit orange flares or waved British flags close to his face. As he moved alongside Quintana -- who had a nose bleed during the climb -- Froome launched a second brutal acceleration. "I needed more strength but I couldnt find it," Quintana said. "Id already made an enormous effort." Victoria cyclist Ryder Hesjedal is 66th after finishing the stage 114th, one ahead of David Veilleux of Cap-Rouge, Que. Svein Tuft of Langley, B.C., was 166th in the stage. Tens of thousands of people crammed the roadside on July 14 -- Frances national day. Other countries were well represented, though. There were dozens of Union Jacks and Norwegians and Danes wearing Viking costumes. Pockets of Belgians and Dutch swigged beers, others dressed up as animals or ran alongside the riders in inflatable body suits. "I was amazed to see so many British people there," Froome said. The chaotic, raucous, deafeningly loud scene saw race motorbikes and spectators perilously close to the riders. Near the summit, the scenery started to change, with fewer and fewer trees; then just a little bit of green brush left, before even that gave way to the barren, lunar landscape that makes Ventoux unique. Following Mondays rest day, there is a medium mountain stage on Tuesday, and then three straight days of tough climbing in the Alps.
