The Washington Commanders and Miami Dolphins kick off Sunday's slate from Madrid in the NFL's final international game of the season.

The Miami Dolphins and Washington Commanders needed overtime to settle the NFL's first-ever Madrid game. Here's how it happened.

The first regular-season game in NFL history in Madrid, Spain has come to an end with a Miami overtime victory. In a game marred by penalties, turnovers, and failed fourth-down attempts, Miami improved to 4-7 on the season while Washington fell to 3-8.

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw 2 touchdown passes while De'Von Achane rushed for 174 yards and 2 touchdowns in a complete team performance.

The Dolphins seized victory over the Commanders 16-13 in overtime to improve their record to 4-7 heading into the bye week. It was the first regular season NFL game contested in Spain, and the first international win for Miami since a 2014 victory over the Raiders at Wembley Stadium in London.

The Miami Dolphins enjoyed some rest and relaxation during their off week in week twelve of the 2025 NFL season — and despite the fact that the team didn’t take the field, they maintained their position in Pro Football Talk’s latest power rankings list.
