Tua Tagovailoa’s TD pass to Jonnu Smith gives Dolphins 32-26 overtime win over Aaron Rodgers, Jets
Associated PressMIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Tua Tagovailoa wouldn’t want to repeat everything that was said in the Miami Dolphins’ huddle Sunday when they trailed the New York Jets in the fourth quarter. “Just know we were getting after everyone inside the huddle,” Tagovailoa said, “to make sure you’re blocking the way you need to block, you’re running the routes the way you need to be — you need to be in the right spots.” Whatever was said helped keep Miami’s slim playoff hopes alive as the Dolphins overcame 8- and 3-point fourth-quarter deficits, as well as one of Aaron Rodgers’ best games in years, to beat the Jets 32-26. Tagovailoa sealed it with a 10-yard touchdown pass to Jonnu Smith in overtime to help the Dolphins spoil Rodgers’ first 300-yard passing game in nearly three years and beat the Jets for the ninth straight time in Miami. Tagovailoa had just three incompletions in the first half and was 3 for 3 on Miami’s final drive of the second quarter, moving the Dolphins into field goal range in 45 seconds to set up a 57-yarder by Sanders, which tied the kicker’s career best.
