Miami defensive end Derrick Shelby batted the pass in the air, caught it and sprinted to the end zone with quarterback Matt Schaub chasing him in vain.
Once Shelby and the Dolphins built a 15-point lead, the Baltimore Ravens couldn't quite catch them, either.
Miami intercepted a pair of deflected Schaub passes to score two touchdowns 20 seconds apart late in the first half, and held on to win 15-13 Sunday. The Ravens had the ball in Miami territory twice in the final six minutes, but the Dolphins turned them away.
''We had to grind it out today,'' Shelby said.
Miami (5-7) managed only eight first downs but improved to 4-4 under interim coach Dan Campbell, and ended a streak of five consecutive losses to the Ravens (4-8).
