What is it about the Dolphins and December home games in retro uniforms?! The last time Miami suited up in their sweet throwbacks, they walked off the field as winners in the Miami Miracle. This time around, the Dolphins have scored one of the more unbelievable trick plays you’ll ever witness.
No, really. You have to see this one to believe it.
PUNTER TO KICKER TOUCHDOWN!

The Dolphins’ decision to go for it on 4th and goal from the one yard line hit the jackpot as punter Matt Haack took the direct snap, rolled to his left and shoved a ball to kicker Jason Sanders in the end zone — just as Sanders slipped past the defense to uncover all alone for six.
The continued fearlessness of Brian Flores and company has the Dolphins right in the thick of things in Week 13, they currently trail the Eagles by a score of 21-14 at the half.
For Sanders, he’s scored himself a piece of NFL history. He’s the first kicker to log a receiving touchdown in an NFL game since Jim Turner in 1977.
