That was Ficken close.
The Jets barely eked out a victory over the Dolphins, 22-21, on a 44-yard field goal from Sam Ficken as time expired at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
The field goal was set up by a controversial pass interference call against the Dolphins that came after an official’s replay review. The call against Miami cornerback Nik Needham gave the Jets a first down instead of a fourth down and Ficken made the game-winner four plays later.
The win keeps the Jets ahead of the Dolphins and out of the AFC East basement and avoids an embarrassing sweep to Miami, which registered its first win of the season over the Jets last month.
