WATCH: Kenyan Drake Returns Kickoff For TD To Give Dolphins 27-23 Lead Late In Fourth
It's always wild when the division rival New York Jets and Miami Dolphins get together and Sunday's showdown between the two at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami was no exception.
The Dolphins managed to pull out a 27-23 victory of the visiting Jets to improve to 4-4 on the year and keep their playoff hopes alive, and it was all thanks to a special teams gaffe from the Jets and a subsequent incredible return from Kenyan Drake.
SO. CLUTCH.@KDx32 goes NINETY-SIX yards to the house.

And gives the @MiamiDolphins the LEAD. #NYJvsMIA https://t.co/4WlgSjHBvl
To say Drake's opportunity on the return was fortuitous would be an understatement. Drake only got the chance after the Jets were forced to re-kick after Jets' special teams man/safety Antonio Allen was flagged on the first kickoff for being offsides.
Drake and the Dolphins took advantage to say the least and now are back at .500 for the first time they began the season 0-0.
