Another win and Jets will make playoffs after Nugent FG tops Miami
MIAMI -- The Jets took a huge statistical step toward clinching a playoff berth last night, but their image as a playoff contender may have suffered. The Jets did not appear to be a team poised for a January push for most of last night's critical game against the Dolphins, who had nothing to play for but a chance to watch their bitter AFC rivals squirm in the South Florida rain.
But the Jets' offense that was stagnant for the first half orchestrated three scoring drives when it was most crucial, the last of which led to a Mike Nugent 30-yard field goal with 10 seconds left for an unconvincing 13-10 win.
