The Dolphins pulled receiver Ted Ginn from their starting lineup Sunday, just a couple days after telling him to “get better.” Ginn responded by taking back-to-back kickoffs to the house in Miami’s key 30-25 win over the Jets in New York — busting loose for a 100-yard score early in the third quarter, then topping the feat with a 101-yard score just moments later.
Ginn, who was replaced in the starting lineup by rookie Brian Hartline, had no catches (though, to be fair, neither did Hartline), but Ginn rediscovering his big-play ability on special teams was a welcome sign for Miami.
Prior to Ginn’s first breakthrough, the Dolphins and Jets were locked in an intense defensive battle. Feely’s 55-yard field goal gave New York a 6-3 lead, but Ginn quickly turned the momentum.
