Tua Tagovailoa tossed a 10-yard touchdown pass to Jonnu Smith on the first possession of overtime as the Miami Dolphins defeated the New York Jets 32-26 on Sunday afternoon in Miami Gardens, Fla.

Tagovailoa passed for 331 yards and two touchdowns as Miami (6-7) kept its playoff hopes alive. Tyreek Hill caught 10 passes for 115 yards and one TD. Jaylen Waddle caught nine passes for 99 yards and a two-point conversion.

The game featured six lead changes, and it was the ninth straight year that the Dolphins beat the Jets at home.

The Dolphins didn’t force a punt until they got two straight stops in the fourth quarter, allowing Miami to rally from an eight-point deficit. Anders Carlson made a 42-yard field goal with 52 seconds left to give the Jets a 26-23 lead, but Jason Sanders nailed a 52-yarder with seven seconds left, sending the game to overtime.

Aaron Rodgers passed for 339 yards and one touchdown, but New York (3-10) still lost its fourth straight game.

Jets receiver Garrett Wilson caught seven passes for 114 yards. Davante Adams caught nine passes for 109 yards and one touchdown.

The Jets also had a great performance from linebacker Jamien Sherwood, who had 18 tackles, two stops for losses and one pass defended.

New York played without leading rusher Breece Hall and cornerback Sauce Gardner, who has made the Pro Bowl the past two years.

Both teams scored on their first possession.

For Miami, De’Von Achane scored on a 2-yard run. But Sanders’ streak of 75 successful extra points ended when he hit the left post. The Jets cut their deficit to 6-3 on Carlson’s 28-yard field goal.

In the second quarter, Miami opted for a field goal on fourth-and-1, and Sanders made a 39-yarder.

On its next possession, New York took its first lead of the game at 10-9 on rookie Isaiah Davis’ 17-yard cutback run. The key to that drive was a fourth-and-4 conversion pass from Rodgers to Wilson that gained 35 yards.

Miami went into halftime with a 15-13 lead as Sanders hit two more field goals, and Carlson connected on one. The final first-half play from scrimmage was Sanders’ career-high-tying 57-yarder.

New York took a 23-15 lead with the only points of the third quarter — a 3-yard TD pass to Adams and a 40-yard field goal by Carlson.

But with 9:04 left in the fourth quarter, Miami tied the score 23-23 on Tagovailoa’s 4-yard pass to Hill and a two-point conversion toss to Waddle.
