MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Jets quarterback Sam Darnold had Miami Dolphins linebacker Jerome Baker dancing and waving and clicking his heels on Sunday.
That’s the reaction returning an interception for a score can bring out.
Baker scored the game’s only touchdown, on a 25-yard return with 10 minutes 48 seconds left, and a resilient defense helped the Dolphins beat the Jets, 13-6.
Darnold, a rookie, threw four interceptions and took four sacks, and the Jets (3-6), who lost their third in a row, went 2 for 15 on third and fourth downs. Darnold went 21 for 39 for 229 yards and a passer rating of 31.
