The Bears recovered Drake's fumble - which was nearly a game-ending touchdown - in the end zone, resulting in a touchback. Chicago quickly got into field-goal range with a few big gains, but Cody Parkey missed the potential game-winning kick from 53 yards out.
Drake and the Dolphins delivered on their next chance, moving down the field before Jason Sanders capped off the drive with a 47-yard field goal as time expired.
