On third-and-goal, Mostert took the handoff from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, cut to the outside and ran into the end zone untouched to break wide receiver Mark Clayton’s 39-year record of 18 touchdowns scored in 1984, and running back Ricky Williams record of 16 rushing touchdowns set in 2002. 

Several minutes later on fourth-and-four from their own 42-yard line, the Jets tried to fake a punt with a direct snap to safety Ashtyn Davis but he was stopped for a one-yard loss by Wilkins and fellow defensive tackle Raekwon Davis. 

Miami turned the short field position into a 37-yard field goal from Jason Sanders to take a 10-0 lead with 13:56 to play in the second quarter.

Later in the period, Sieler sacked WIlson for a six-yard loss and forced the Jets to punt for the third straight possession.

On the Dolphins next play from scrimmage, Waddle got behind Jets cornerback D.J. Reed on a deep route and Tagovailoa place the ball perfectly in stride for a 60-yard touchdown pass to extend Miami’s lead to 17-0 with 7:42 remaining in the half.
