Two Dolphins defenders - Stephen Braggs and Chris Green - jumped to snare it, but it bounded off their hands and into the palms of San Diego's Anthony Miller.

Dolphins had jumped to see.

The Dolphins jumped to a 5-1 start and missed the playoffs with two late road losses, each at cold-weather sites, though the Minnesota loss was played in a dome.

So, can the Dolphins jump out of the sack?

The Dolphins jumped to a 23-point lead four weeks ago before the Jets staged their stunning comeback.

On the second score, six plays after linebacker Victor Hobson recovered a Sammy Morris fumble, Coles got behind the defense and caught a pass from Pennington on what amounted to a free play because the Dolphins had jumped offside.

Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor jumped offside on the first play of an opening drive that saw the Jets stutter-step 80 yards in 9 plays.

Dolphins jump out of the water to conserve energy; it is easier to move through the air than through the water.
