Dolphins' Jason Sanders kicks go-ahead field goal to lift Miami into the playoffs

The Miami Dolphins are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2016 after beating the New York Jets and having the New England Patriots lose.

Miami Dolphins linebacker Duke Riley tackles New York Jets running back Ty Johnson during the first half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Jan. 8, 2023, in Miami Gardens, Florida.

Thompson led the team on an 11-play, 36-yard drive. He had a 2-yard pass to Jaylen Waddle that resulted in a 15-yard horse-collar tackle penalty for Jets defensive lineman Quinnen Williams. Waddle was hurt on the play and exited the game. Salvon Ahmed had a 7-yard rush that helped get Sanders in position for the go-ahead field goal. The kick put Miami up, 9-6. The Dolphins received two points on the Jets’ final scramble of that game that resulted in a safety.
