===Third quarter===
The Redskins had more success moving the ball in the second half. They took the second half kickoff and advanced across midfield for only the second time in the game, driving from their own 29-yard line to Miami's 17-yard line in a seven-play drive that featured just two runs. On first down at Miami's 17-yard line, Kilmer threw to Taylor, who was open at the 2-yard line, but Taylor stumbled right before the ball arrived and the ball glanced off his fingertips. After a second-down screen pass to fullback [[Charley Harraway]] fell incomplete, Dolphins defensive tackle [[Manny Fernandez (American football)|Manny Fernandez]] sacked Kilmer on third down for a loss of 8 yards, and Washington's drive ended with no points after kicker [[Curt Knight]]'s ensuing 32-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right. "That was an obvious turning point", said Allen.<ref name=Strother/> Three possessions later, the Dolphins drove 78 yards to Washington's 5-yard line, featuring a 49-yard run by Csonka, the second-longest run in Super Bowl history at the time. However, Redskins safety [[Brig Owens]] intercepted a pass intended for Fleming in the end zone for a touchback.
