MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — In a game between two teams battling to try to remain in the playoff race, the Baltimore Ravens defeated the Miami Dolphins 28-13 on Sunday at Sun Life Stadium.

The Ravens (8-5) overcame a 10-point deficit, engineering four long touchdown drives — 97, 75, 80 and 81 yards.

Miami (7-6) is just 3-3 at home this season, including two straight losses.

Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco completed 25 of 33 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns. He also scored on a 1-yard run, and the Ravens’ defense got six sacks in the win.

Early in the game, it was all Miami. The Dolphins scored on their first possession, a 46-yard field goal by Caleb Sturgis.

Miami then put together an 11-play, 66-yard drive that was capped by quarterback Ryan Tannehill’s 3-yard slant pass to wide receiver Brian Hartline. That gave Miami a 10-0 lead.

Baltimore tried to get back in the game in the second quarter, but wide receiver Steve Smith dropped a would-be touchdown pass. On the next play, Flacco was pressured into a quick pass. He threw it up for grabs, and the pass was intercepted in the end zone by cornerback R.J. Stanford, just his second career pick.

The Ravens bounced back and scored a touchdown with two seconds left in the first half. It was a 1-yard Flacco-to-Smith pass, beating Stanford and capping a 12-play, 97-yard drive that took 3:06.

Baltimore took a 14-10 lead on its first drive of the second half. The Ravens went 75 yards on 11 plays, capped by Flacco’s 13-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Kamar Aiken. The drive was kept alive early on, when Flacco’s quarterback sneak converted a fourth-and-1 from Baltimore’s 35.

Sturgis’ 34-yard field goal cut Baltimore’s deficit to 14-13 with 12:41 left in the fourth quarter. But the field goal was a disappointment for Miami considering the Dolphins had first-and-goal at the 4 and went backward from there. Tannehill overthrew an open Mike Wallace in the end zone during that sequence.

Baltimore then drove to the Miami 2, where Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake hit Flacco, forcing a fumble recovered by defensive tackle Earl Mitchell. But the play was over-ruled on review, and running back Justin Forsett scored on the next play on a 2-yard run, giving Baltimore a 21-13 lead.

The Ravens made it 28-13 on Flacco’s quarterback sneak with 3:34 left in the game.

NOTES: Dolphins S Louis Delmas (knee) and OLB Jelani Jenkins (foot) were hurt Sunday. … Ravens DT Haloti Ngata served the first of his four-game NFL suspension for use of a performance-enhancing drug. … DT Timmy Jernigan started in place of Ngata. It was the first NFL start for Jernigan, a rookie second-round pick from Florida State. … Ravens CB Tremain Jacobs (thigh) was out. … The Dolphins were again without their No. 2 and No. 3 CBs, Cortland Finnegan (ankle) and Jamar Taylor (shoulder).
