The Miami Dolphins and New York Jets were stuck at 7-7 midway through the third quarter of their Week 11 AFC East battle. That was until Tua Tagovailoa finally hit a big play.
Miami’s quarterback stepped up and avoided the rush with enough room to run for the first down if he wanted to. However, Tagovailoa saw wide receiver Mack Hollins wide open down the left sideline with only a safety playing deep in the middle of the field. The two connected, Hollins made the safety miss, and ran to the end zone for a 65-yard touchdown, giving the Dolphins a 14-7 lead.

The defense then held Joe Flacco and the Jets’ offense to a 40-yard field goal attempt that kicker Matt Ammendola missed, his second failed attempt of the game.
