The Miami Dolphins finally secured their ninth victory of the season on Sunday, as they defeated the New York Jets in an afternoon matchup at Hard Rock Stadium.
Mike McDaniel’s team, without Tua Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewater, was able to win a game with Skylar Thompson under center. Miami’s defense held Joe Flacco and the Jets to just six points, allowing Jason Sanders to essentially win the game with a 50-yard field goal on the Dolphins’ final drive.
