The New York Jets had just scored a touchdown to finally go up against the Miami Dolphins Sunday after trailing for much of the game. Then Kenyan Drake stole their burgeoning momentum in about 10 seconds flat.
On the ensuing kickoff following Ryan Fitzpatrick’s first touchdown of the game, the Alabama product blew past New York’s coverage unit like it wasn’t even there.
SO. CLUTCH.@KDx32 goes NINETY-SIX yards to the house.
And gives the @MiamiDolphins the LEAD. #NYJvsMIA https://t.co/4WlgSjHBvl— NFL (@NFL) November 6, 2016
This outstanding return put the Dolphins back up on top with a 27-23 lead with about four-and-a-half minutes remaining. Based on the way things have shaken out so far, we’re not sure this is the last huge play we’ll see today from these teams.
