The Dolphins Subdue the Jaguars on Two Big Plays

The second of the 2 magical plays that reversed the Dolphins’ fortunes was an 80 yard touchdown pass, catch  and run orchestrated by Tua and Tyreek in the third quarter, bringing the Fins closer at 17-14. Obviously, the mercurial Hill by this time had shrugged off the totally unnecessary pregame incident.

Now it was up to the Dolphins defense. Jaelan Phillips, returning after a serious knee injury, sacked Lawrence,  forcing a punt. The Dolphins got the ball back with 2:09 remaining in game, controlled the clock and won the game when reliable Jason Sanders kicked the winning field goal, a 52 yarder to close out the Dolphins first victory of the year, an ugly but welcomed one. However, the celebration must be short-lived as they face division rival and nemesis, the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night in prime time at the Hardrock. Go Fins! […]
