4 takeaways from the Jets’ bizarre win over the Dolphins

Jets Wire breaks down New York’s bizarre win over the Dolphins with four takeaways.

What a bizarre game that was.

The Jets got the job done against the Dolphins in Week 14, downing Miami 21-19 on a Sam Ficken field goal as time expired. The action was far from exhilarating despite the final minutes, but a win is a win.

Let’s take a look back at New York’s fifth win of the season with four takeaways from the game.

Darnold gets it done…sort of

Sam Darnold was not good in the second half. That’s not up for debate. However, despite his underwhelming half of football, he stepped up down the stretch and put the Jets in a position to win.

Darnold’s pitch and catch to Vyncint Smith essentially set up Sam Ficken’s game-winning field goal. The Jets got bailed out by the referees deciding to review defensive pass interference after their drive started going backward, but Darnold got them into Miami territory in the first place, nonetheless. That deserves some sort of acknowledgment.
