When the final seconds melted off the clock, the Jets could do nothing but watch Ryan Tannehill take knee after knee after knee, icing the Dolphins’ 20-12 win Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
If the Jets handled the final seconds of the first half better, Sam Darnold may have been leading the victory formation.
Trailing 20-0 with just 41 seconds left in the first half, the Jets gave their rookie quarterback a chance to score before halftime. Darnold seized the opportunity with his longest pass of the game, connecting with Terrelle Pryor for 44 yards to bring the Jets into Miami territory for the first time.
