Johnson scored from a yard out to get the Dolphins on the scoreboard, only to have it answered by Wilson doing the same to restore the Jets’ 10-point edge.īut Johnson tied it early in the third to cap an eight-play, 76-yard drive, and Wilkins gave Miami a 24-17 lead just 33 seconds into the fourth quarter. Tagovailoa was picked off on the next Miami drive, which the Jets turned into a field goal and a 10-0 lead. “A 60-minute battle."īerrios - back in the stadium where he, like Johnson, played his college football for Miami - opened the scoring by pinballing his way into the end zone from 2 yards out. “It’s the game we thought it was going to be," Dolphins coach Brian Flores said. Playoff talk is still a long way from real in Miami this season, but the Dolphins at least remain alive with games left to play against New Orleans, Tennessee and New England. The season was only 14 weeks back then, so that’s where the Jets’ turnaround ended and did so without a playoff berth. The other team on that list - the Jets, in 1974. The Dolphins became the second team in NFL history to get to 7-7 after starting a season 1-7. Tagovailoa completed 16 of 27 passes for 196 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions for Miami. “We could never get anything rolling in the second half when it comes to sustaining drives," Jets coach Robert Saleh said. New York had a halftime lead for the first time all season, yet couldn't finish things off. Zach Wilson and Braxton Berrios rushed for scores for New York Wilson completed 13 of 23 passes for 170 yards for the Jets. “That was cool, cool to see him score."īrandin Echols had a 20-yard interception return for a touchdown midway through the fourth for the Jets (3-11). “That was awesome," said Tagovailoa, who ran over the Jets' Michael Carter II on a second-half rumble on a day filled with surprising plays by Miami. The 6-foot-4, 310-pound defensive lineman leaped into the stands, then did “the worm” in the end zone as teammates danced around him. Defensive lineman Christian Wilkins caught a touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter for Miami, juggling the ball before controlling it and then letting loose with a wild celebration. It was the first 100-yard game from a Miami rusher this season. Johnson - basically the go-to back for Miami as a last resort because of virus-related issues throughout the week - helped the Dolphins (7-7) rally from an early 10-0 deficit. “Growing up in the area, just being able to play football and play well here, it meant a lot but it meant even more because we got the win. Johnson rushed for 107 yards and had a career-best two touchdowns, DeVante Parker caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from Tua Tagovailoa with 3:37 left and the Dolphins extended their winning streak to six games by topping the New York Jets 31-24 on Sunday. He'd waited a long time for a day like Sunday. Duke Johnson grew up in the shadow of Hard Rock Stadium, went to high school a couple miles away and played his college football on the Miami Dolphins' field. In a best-case scenario, Rodgers could be ready to play by mid-January, but that probably isn't an outcome the Jets are banking on, even if they claim a playoff spot.Dolphins extend winning streak to 6, rally past Jets 31-24 In addition, Rodgers is expected to receive platelet-rich plasma injections to aid in accelerating the healing process. The speed bridge is designed to better protect the repaired tendon and open the door for a return from surgery in as little as four months, though there are no guarantees, given that the procedure is a relatively novel one. According to the report, Rodgers and the Jets are optimistic that he'll be in store for an accelerated rehab after his surgery included a procedure to place an internal bridge or "speed bridge" into the ruptured Achilles. Rodgers is hopeful to match or beat that five-month recovery timeline, which would fall just under a week before Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. Rodgers is targeting a return to action during the playoffs after undergoing an innovative surgery Wednesday in Los Angeles to repair his torn left Achilles' tendon, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report.Īchilles tears have historically been season-ending injuries, with Rams running back Cam Akers - who needed just under five months to recover from surgery in 2021 - having thus far staged the fastest-known recovery from the injury.
