If you watched Kenyan Drake’s 96-yard kickoff return to beat the Jets and thought the Dolphins’ execution was as perfect as it gets, you were wrong. Dead wrong.
The Dolphins were guilty of a series of unfortunate events on the return. But seldom has something so wrong turned out so very right.
Walt Aikens, one of the key blockers on the return team, explained what was going down (mainly, Jets players) as Drake made his house call with 5:15 left in a 27-23 victory. We now present that explanation in all its glory, with the warning that it sounds a bit contradictory at times but never fails to be amusing.
