What a night for the Miami Dolphins and coach Tony Sparano. Last night game against the Jets brings them to a 2-3 record for the season.
Running back Ronnie Brown took the snap with 10 seconds left and scored on a 2-yard keeper for the fifth lead change of the final period, giving Miami a wild 31-27 victory over the Jets on Monday night.
Newcomer Braylon Edwards Braylon provided a big boost for the Jets, and two fake punts fooled the Dolphins. But Miami gained 110 yards with the wildcat, which was instrumental in three touchdown drives, including the last one.
“Like anything else, if you execute, good things will happen,” Brown said.
Jets coach Rex Ryan was annoyed the wildcat kept working.
“I used to see all those gimmicks when I was coaching back in college,” Ryan said. “I’ve been a part of some bad performances before on defense, just not this bad.”
The Jets and Dolphins put on an offensive show in the final quarter as the lead changed hands several times.
The Dolphins started from their own 30-yard line with 5:05 left, trailing 27-24, and mounted a 13-play drive for the winning score. The march included four wildcat plays for 25 yards, the last on third down at the 2.
“We were in the huddle and said, ‘We’ve got to score a touchdown. No settling for field goals. We’ve got to finish the game,’” Brown said.
He ran up the middle, found a seam and crossed the goal line with 6 seconds to go. Even Brown’s teammates on the sideline were surprised by the call.
Chad Henne threw both of his TD passes on play action, including the 53-yarder to Ted Ginn Jr. when he scored with four defenders chasing him into the end zone. He had a perfect passer rating on play-action passes.
“That’s why we are players and not coaches,” Miami defensive tackle Jason Ferguson said. “All of us were talking about, ‘Why won’t you pass it?’ Because we got a touchdown, that’s why.”
The resilient Dolphins (2-3) came from behind three times in the fourth quarter, and they’re back in the AFC East race after losing their first three games. The Jets (3-2) have lost two straight and fell into a tie with New England for first place.
