    EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Its all in the mindset.Scratch, claw, bite, kick, whatever you have to do make a play and win, Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake explained after Monday nights dull but effective slugfest with the New York Jets ended in a 16-13 Miami victory.Its December, added rookie receiver Jarvis Landry. The only thing that matters is winning, no matter how you get it done.The Dolphins found the right formula to stay in the AFC playoff race: Simply let the Jets run the ball all night, and wait for New York to make mistakes — something the Jets have done quite well all season.Caleb Sturgis third field goal, from 26 yards with 1:57 remaining, gave Miami (7-5) the comeback victory over its archrival.New York (2-10) rushed for 277 yards on 49 carries, but made enough key errors in the second half to lose.Cant believe were 2-10, Jets coach Rex Ryan said, shaking his head and pausing. Its a joke.The Dolphins remained a factor in the wild-card race thanks to special teams; Landrys eight receptions; Lamar Millers 4-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter; and plenty of defence when the Jets needed to pass.New Yorks Geno Smith threw only 13 times, fewest in the NFL this season, and gained 49 yards. The usually reliable Nick Folk missed two field goals.All of that offset a season high on the ground as Chris Johnson had his best performance for the Jets with 105 yards.We had to draw a line in the dirt. No more, Wake said of his teams stinginess after halftime. We came out in the second half scheme-wise the same, but guys played the way theyre supposed to play.Sturgis also made field goals of 43 and 44 yards.After trailing most of the way, Miami tied it on Millers run with 10:24 remaining. That brought the loudest cheers of the night; thousands of Dolphins fans at MetLife Stadium braved the wet, windy conditions.Jets problems with penalties on special teams hurt them all night, and a holding call against Saalim Hakim set up the Dolphins at New Yorks 39 on the tying drive. On the winning possession, backup tight end Dion Sims had catches of 18 and 17 yards.The Jets kept pounding the ball effectively. They even got into field goal position after Miami made it 13-13. But Koa Misis sack pushed New York back to the Miami 27 and Folk missed wide left for the second time. Folk had made 18 of 20 entering the game.Thats the way the Jets season has gone, of course.I feel sick, Ryan said. We cant buy a win.Early on, Greg Salas, with his fourth team in four pro seasons, scored his first career touchdown. But the receiver didnt get it through the air, instead scoring on a well-conceived reverse on which the Dolphins had no one close to him until he reached the 2. He dived into the end zone to cap an 85-yard drive, but that ended his night; Salas hurt a hamstring.Sturgis missed a 43-yard field goal on the next possession for Miami, further boosting New Yorks confidence. The Jets took the ball into Dolphins territory for the third successive series, and got more points on Folks 40-yard field goal.As New York kept grinding away on the ground — it had 210 yards rushing in the opening half — it also ate up the clock. But Folk missed from 48 yards and Miami took advantage on Sturgis 43-yard field goal to end the half.Sturgis added his 44-yarder to start the second half, and Folk followed with a 45-yarder that bounced off the crossbar and through, making it 13-6.Then came two huge plays that led to, well, nothing.Dion Jordan partially blocked Ryan Quigleys punt, resulting in a 6-yard kick to the New York 41. It was the second straight week an opponent got a piece of a Quigley punt.On the next play, though, Miller bobbled Ryan Tannehills short pass and the ball squirted into cornerback Darrin Walls hands. Walls slipped, got up and returned the interception 25 yards to the Dolphins 30. But Wake got a sack — he leads Miami with 9 1-2 — and that forced a punt.NOTES: Tannehill was 25 of 35 for 235 yards. Smith threw for 65 yards on his seven completions, but also was sacked twice for minus-16 yards ... New Yorks previous rushing high this season was 218 vs. New England. ... Dozens of Jets alums were on hand, including three living Hall of Famers: Joe Namath, Curtis Martin and Don Maynard. They celebrated former owner Leon Hess and former receiver Wayne Chrebets induction into the teams ring of honour. ... Dolphins WR Brian Hartline left with a knee injury.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Patrick Beverley Jersey . - The infectious smile was missing from Nam Nguyen last week. Clippers Jerseys . They showered him with "MVP! MVP!" chants. In many ways, it seemed like hed never been gone. http://www.clippersnbateamshop.info/sam-dekker-clippers-jersey/. Now comes an off-season of questions about manager Matt Williams decisions and a handful of key roster choices, including what to do about Ryan Zimmerman, whether to sign Jordan Zimmermann and Ian Desmond to long-term deals, and how to upgrade an offence that fell flat in October. Jerome Robinson Jersey . The 29-year-old Mills started three games for Oakland this season, posting a 1-1 record with a 4.41 earned-run average. He opened the season appearing in 14 games and making 12 starts for the Milwaukee Brewers triple-A affiliate in Nashville, posting a 4-2 record with a 1. Montrezl Harrell Jersey . Ronaldo failed to connect on an ample number of opportunities at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. But Karim Benzema and Jese Rodriguez scored in each half for Madrid to come out of the first leg with the firm advantage.SAN DIEGO -- Travis dArnaud returned to San Diego, the site of his major league debut, and recorded another memorable moment. DArnauds go-ahead single in the ninth inning lifted the New York Mets to their fourth straight win, 5-4 over the San Diego Padres on Friday night. The Mets won for the ninth time in 11 games as they began a 10-game trip and matched their longest winning streak of the season. DArnaud played his first game for the Mets at Petco Park on Aug. 17, 2013. That night he went 0 for 2 with two walks. "That was my first thought all day today," he said. On Friday he had three hits and two RBIs as the Mets picked up where they left off before the All-Star break. After a slow start, dArnaud is showing the promise that has long made him among the Mets top prospects. "Im not thinking about mechanics anymore," dArnaud said. "Im more focused in on the ball that is 90 miles an hour coming at me." And the Mets stayed hot, after an 8-2 homestand. "Thats big," dArnaud said. "We had good momentum before the All-Star break happened, and we won tonight and were going to keep it going." Jeurys Familia (2-3) pitched a scoreless eighth inning for the win. Jenrry Mejia worked the ninth for his 11 save in 13 chances. Joaquin Benoit (3-2) took the loss as he pitched the ninth inning with closer Huston Street unavailable. Street was dealt to the Angels in a six-player trade that was announced after the game. "Its tough to see guys go," Padres third baseman Chase Headley said. "I think guys know thats part of it." New York had seized a 4-0 lead but Bartolo Colon couldnt hold it and left the game after giving up four runs in San Diegos fifth inning. Colon was derailed by a sour stomach and a headache. "He didnt feel very good," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "The fifth inning wore him down a little bit. Usually as the game goes on he gets better." Curtis Granderson drew a leadoff walk in the ninth and moved to third on groundouts by Daniel Murphy and David Wright. After Lucas Duda was walked intentionally, dArnaud punched a single to right field for his second RBI and third hit of the game. "I just try to keep my eye on the ball and put a swing on it," dArnaud said. "Fortunately, iit found a gap.dddddddddddd." The Mets had gotten the go-ahead run into scoring position in the eighth inning on Ruben Tejadas two-out double, but Bobby Abreu grounded out and failed to get a hit for the 18th straight time as a pinch-hitter. Colon was strong early, which was different for him. He had allowed a first-inning run in five consecutive starts, before shutting down the Padres over the first 4 1-3 innings. The Padres snapped a 25-inning scoreless skid when they scored four in the fifth. Will Venable opened with a single, Jake Goebbert walked, and they advanced on a double steal. Chris Nelson, who joined the Padres earlier Friday from Triple A El Paso, singled in Venable. Alexi Amarista, who had three hits, followed with a run-scoring single to slice the deficit in half. After Nelson and Amarista moved up on Seth Smiths grounder to first, Headley tied the game with a two-run single. New York extended its lead to 4-0 in the third when Duda scored after starting the inning with a double. DArnaud drove in Duda with his second single of the night. The Mets struck early with three first-inning runs as Ian Kennedy struggled after getting two outs. Kennedy, who had surrendered just two runs in 21 innings, allowed three hits, nailed Duda with a pitch, and walked Kirk Nieuwenhuis. "It showed the guys we are still in that zone right now," Collins said. "It was a good first inning. Hes been pitching good." The key blow was Juan Lagares single that scored Duda and dArnaud, who was aboard on a single that drove in Granderson. "Hes made some adjustments at the plate," Collins said of dArnaud. "His confidence is soaring and he is seeing the ball really good." NOTES: Padres RHP Andrew Cashner, sidelined by a sore right shoulder, will throw on Saturday. ... 2B Jedd Gyorko will play this weekend for Triple A El Paso as he rebounds from plantar fasciitis in his left foot. ...
