The Miami Dolphins clinched a dramatic 32-26 victory over the New York Jets in overtime, with Tua Tagovailoa connecting with Jonnu Smith for the game-winning touchdown. The game, which was marked by several critical moments, saw the Jets take a 26-23 lead with 52 seconds left in regulation, thanks to a 42-yard field goal by Anders Carlson, his fourth of the game. However, the Dolphins managed to tie the game with a field goal of their own after a special teams breakdown by the Jets, including a missed tackle by Tony Adams. In overtime, the Dolphins received the ball first, and a touchdown would win the game outright, while a field goal would give the Jets a chance to respond. The Dolphins capitalized on their opportunity, with Tua Tagovailoa finding Jonnu Smith for the decisive score. The Jets' offensive dysfunction and clock management issues played a significant role in the outcome.
