The Wildcat formation embarrassed the Jets defense on a final drive that culminated in a 31-27 victory for the Dolphins.
Said Jets LB Calvin Pace, “I’m going to be honest, I can’t respect that stuff. All that Wildcat. Because we’re in the NFL, man. If you’re out there running that nonsense, it’s crap. They got us today but we’ll see them again and we’ll have something for them. I guess you have to give them credit but the defense lost the game.”
Jets WR Braylon Edwards made an impact in his debut with a touchdown, a 34-yard circus catch to set up one score and drawing a long pass interference penalty to set up another one.
The Jets ran a pair of fake punts in the first half, leading to two first downs and 10 points.
Jets K Jay Feely tied a Jets franchise record with his 22nd consecutive made field goal.
Dolphins QB Chad Henne completed 20 of 26 passes for 241 yards and two touchdowns in leading his team back from three fourth quarter deficits.
WR Ted Ginn’s 53-yard touchdown catch was the kind of big play the Dolphins have been hoping to see for some time.
Said Dolphins DT Jason Ferguson, “We’re still climbing the ladder, but we put ourselves on a better step right now.”
Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown completed a 21-yard pass to TE Anthony Fasano out of the Wildcat formation.
