MIAMI — The Dolphins clinched their first playoff berth since 2016 with an 11-6 win Sunday over the New York Jets.<\/p>\n
Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders, previously 1-for-5 on field goals of at least 50 yards this season, connected on a 50-yard attempt with 18 seconds left in the game to seal the victory before Miami scored a safety on the final play.<\/p>\n
The five-year drought marked the third-longest in franchise history as Mike McDaniel joins Adam Gase, Tony Sparano, Dave Wannstedt and Don Shula as the only Dolphins coaches to make the playoffs in their debut seasons.<\/p>\n
