Clutch FG helps Dolphins earn playoff berth (0:59)

The Dolphins earned a spot in the playoffs with an 11-6 victory over the Jets. There is a time and a place.

4:17 PM ET

The Dolphins secured their first playoff spot since 2016 with a win over the Jets.

The Dolphins kicker connected on a 50-yard field goal with 18 seconds left in the game to seal the victory before Miami scored a safety on the last play.

The Dolphins have not made the playoffs in five years, the third-longest streak in franchise history, and it has been done by only one coach in his first season.

After an 8-3 start to the season, the Dolphins lost five in a row and were knocked out of the playoffs.

There is no timetable for the quarterback's return from the concussion protocol as medical experts advise him to take things one day at a time.

The seventh-round pick completed 20 of 31 passes.
