The Miami Dolphins defeated the New York Jets on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium, 11-6, due to three made field goal attempts from kicker Jason Sanders and a safety on the final play of the game.
Mike McDaniel’s team did just enough to secure their ninth victory of the season, which not only gave them a winning record in his first year as a head coach, but, with the help of the Buffalo Bills, they also clinched a spot in the postseason.
Here’s how fans reacted throughout the regular-season finale:
McDaniel going away from the run game when it’s working has gotta be fixed man.

Mike McDaniels playcalling is atrocious

Kader and X were outstanding on that rep. X with a great jam at the line, Kohou in good shape at the catch point.

Comedy of errors on this drive continues. Offsides, negated by a false start on the next play, followed by a 36-yard catch and run from Garrett Wilson two plays later.

That should’ve been roughing the passer or DPI, but with this anemic offense they’re not going to get either calls. #FinsUp

What a catch by Gesicki 😳

Brutal 3rd down miss on what should have been OPI on Garrett Wilson, and then a weak DPI on the Dolphins a couple plays later to give the Jets a big gain. Refs making sure they have their say in this AFC Wild Card race.
