Memorable Moments in Dolphins-Jets AFC East Rivalry
The Fake Spike – It was November 27, 1994, and the two teams were fighting for divisional supremacy at the Giants Stadium. But this game would be remembered for one other reason as well, Dan Marino’s fake spike. The first half belonged to the Jets and the second half began with Jets 24-6 on the scoreboard. However, when Jets QB Boomer Esiason threw interceptions, Marino and his offense scored 22 points, which was enough to end the game 28-24. One of the most memorable drives in Dolphins history was part of this game when Marino signaled that he was going to spike the ball. Instead he took the snap and rifled one to Mark Ingram for the go-ahead touchdown.
Monday Night Miracle – One of the greatest comebacks in NFL history occurred on October 23, 2000, at the Giants Stadium. The Dolphins dominated throughout the first three quarters and entered the fourth quarter with a 30-7 lead. The Dolphins had already started to celebrate with the Jets fans ready to leave the stadium. It was premature, as it turned out. Jets QB, Vinny Testaverde threw four touchdown passes in the fourth quarter and the Jets kicker, John Hall added a field goal. The Jets scored 30 points in this quarter alone. However, the game wasn’t done yet, as the Dolphins still had a chance of winning by stopping the Jets on a 4th-and-1 from the 4-yard line. It never happened. Testaverde threw the game-tying touchdown and the game went into OT, where Hall kicked a 40-yard field goal and the Jets won 40-37.
