MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — For the Miami Dolphins, the day started with chaos and ended with celebration.
Jason Sanders nailed a 52-yard field goal as time expired, and the Dolphins — on probably one of the more bizarre days in their history, one where two players were placed in handcuffs outside the stadium a few hours before kickoff — rallied past the Jacksonville Jaguars 20-17 on Sunday to win their fourth straight season opener.
Fresh off a big offseason payday, Tua Tagovailoa threw for 336 yards and a touchdown and led Miami on an eight-play, 31-yard drive over the final 2:09.
“We just needed to get our head out of our (butt),” said Tagovailoa, who gave an impassioned halftime address, calling out both teammates and coaches with Miami down 17-7. “That was it. That was it.”
