MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Rookie returner Kenyan Drake was delighted to find himself at the bottom of a pile of players, because they were teammates in the end zone.Drake caused the celebration when he scored untouched on a 96-yard kickoff return with 5:15 left Sunday, the final swing in a seesaw game that helped the Miami Dolphins beat the New York Jets, 27-23.Jay Ajayi came up short in his bid to become the first NFL rusher to have three consecutive 200-yard games, but he managed 111 yards and helped to run out the clock after the Dolphins came from behind for the third time.A botched Dolphins punt led to a touchdown that put New York ahead 23-20. The Jets pinned Miamis Jakeem Grant deep on the ensuing kickoff, but Antonio Allen was flagged for offside.On the re-kick, the weary coverage team found itself chasing a fresh Drake , Grants backup. He sped past the final Jet -- kicker Nick Folk -- into the clear.I was trying to remember what my track coach said: to keep those knees up, Drake said.Even his teammates gave chase.Everyone was running down the sideline, Ajayi said. I was trying to beat him to the end zone. I was so excited for him.The Dolphins (4-4) won their third game in a row, while New York (3-6) fell deeper into last place in the AFC East. The Jets hurt themselves with four personal foul penalties, two interceptions thrown by Ryan Fitzpatrick and numerous squandered chances.Fitzpatrick missed four plays midway through the second half because of a left knee injury and wore a brace when he returned. He said hell undergone an MRI exam Monday.Ajayi was hit behind the line on many of his 24 carries but gradually wore down the Jets and had 55 yards in the fourth quarter.Im never going to go away from him, Miami coach Adam Gase said. His job is to keep hammering it.Also impressive with his ball-carrying skills was 335-pound Miami defensive tackle Jordan Phillips, who leaped over an opponent during a 17-yard interception return to set up a field goal.Looked like he wanted to be a hurdler, teammate Ndamukong Suh said.Fitzpatrick was intercepted in the end zone by Bobby McCain in the fourth quarter, and missed an open Brandon Marshall in the end zone, forcing New York to settle for a field goal.We had opportunity after opportunity and didnt get it done, Fitzpatrick said. It all falls on the quarterback. Theres a lot of things I could have done better today.Same for the Jets defense -- linebacker Jordan Jenkins dropped a potential interception with nothing but 85 yards of grass in front of him.COSTLY PENALTIESThe Jets were amped up at the start to stop Ajayi -- perhaps too much so.Ajayi lost 3, 1 and 5 yards on his first three carries. But two of the losses were negated by an unnecessary roughness penalty on Buster Skrine, and a taunting penalty on Calvin Pryor.On his fourth carry, Ajayi found a big hole and ran 20 yards for a touchdown to put Miami ahead 7-3.The Jets Sheldon Richardson was flagged for unnecessary roughness twice in the second quarter.ABSENT AT FIRSTJets defensive linemen Richardson and Muhammad Wilkerson sat out the first quarter and entered the game at the start of the second period. A team official said their absences at the start werent injury-related, but declined to say whether they were for disciplinary reasons.Coachs decision, coach Todd Bowles said.WHAT FEUD?The feud between Marshall and Byron Maxwell produced a lot of trash-talking, but Marshall managed only 45 yards on six catches. The Jets receiver complained during the week that Maxwell held him on every play in their only previous meeting.INJURIESJets: CB Marcus Williams (ankle) left the game in the first quarter. ... LB Josh Martin (concussion) missed the second half.Dolphins: LB Jelani Jenkins (concussion and hand) and WR Kenny Stills (illness) left the game in the second quarter.RUGBY-LIKEThe Jets started the game with a field goal at the end of a 13-play drive, and the best was an ad lib. Fitzpatrick scrambled up the middle for 14 yards, and as he was about to be tackled, he lateraled to Bilal Powell for an additional 8 yards.STILL PHYSICALMiami receiver Jarvis Landry, who said he would remain aggressive after a hefty fine for a block that injured the Bills Aaron Williams, kept the pledge. Following a catch he tried to run through tackler Marcus Gilchrist and knocked off the safetys helmet.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- On the first play of the fourth quarter Saturday, Patrick Mahomes II, the most prolific passer in college football, faced his biggest moment of the young season.Third-and-7 from the Texas Tech 28. The Red Raiders were facing a 10-point deficit against Arizona State. If the junior quarterback Mahomes were to show the results of his progression over the previous nine months after he quit baseball to focus on his future, this was likely his time.Mahomes showed patience out of the quarter break. With the game clock stopped, he barked an audible and motioned for movement from multiple receivers. Then the snap, and Mahomes backpedaled, changing directions. His footwork fell out of rhythm.He felt pressure and heaved the ball deep to his left, far past receiver Derrick Willies. Mahomes next throw on the ensuing possession was intercepted, his first pick of the season.He was trying to make the 21-point pass, Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said. It doesnt exist.The Sun Devils Kalen Ballage scored his seventh touchdown of the game four seconds later. With that, it was essentially over, and Mahomes stood right where he started this season: as a monster of a QB talent, perhaps the most gifted player in the Big 12, but apparently without a supporting cast to support his championship aspirations.This is the conundrum for the Red Raiders and Mahomes, unique because of his athleticism and diverse skills compared to the Tech quarterbacks who preceded him but unable yet to break through in red-letter games. Mahomes is 0-6 against ranked opponents and 9-10 as a starter. Since his second career start as a true freshman in November 2014 -- after he left with a head injury two weeks prior in a loss to Texas -- Mahomes ranks No. 1 nationally with 6,995 passing yards and second with 59 touchdown passes.Over that time, defensively, Texas Tech has allowed 543 yards per game (worst in the FBS), 42.9 points per game and a whopping 50.2 percent third-down completion rate. Three times in its past 12 games, Tech has scored 50 points and lost. On Saturday in Tempe, from midway through the first quarter until nine minutes remained in its 68-55 win, ASU scored touchdowns on eight of nine drives and faced just nine third downs, of which it converted eight.They had a bad game, but I think youll see a lot of improvement, Mahomes said of the Tech defense after its first road test of 2016. We have all the faith in them. We know that theyre going to make the big stops.Doubt Mahomes at your own risk, but it isnt always the best idea.Mahomes considered quitting the sport before his junior year of high school in Whitehouse, Texas. So said his mom, Randi Mahomes, and dad, Pat Mahomes, a former major league relief pitcher who played 11 seasons with six teams.Both parents were on board. Randi, with whom Patrick lived after his parents divorced more than a decade ago, has always struggled to watch him play football, she said. Pat wondered why his son, so distinguished in other sports, wanted to compete for the quarterback position.Why are you messing around? Pat said at Sun Devil Stadium before the game, in recalling his 2012 conversation with Patrick. Youre special in basketball. Youre special in baseball. Why are you playing this other sport? For what reason?Father and son went to the University of Texas for a camp, Pat said. The coaches liked Patrick as a safety.He said, Dad, I can play quarterback, Pat said. I said, I know you can play quarterback, son, but nobody else thinks you can.Patrick said he mulled the decision to quit the game but never took it to his coaches or friends.I had the potential to be a high draft pick in baseball, said the younger Mahomes, a promising right-handed pitcher in the mold of his father. I had to decide if I really wanted to play football or try to get drafted in the first or second round.Ultimately, Patrick won the job at Whitehouse in the fall of 2012 and committed to Texas Tech in April 2013. In the 2013-14 offseason, incumbent starter Baker Mayfield left Tech for Oklahoma, and Michael Brewer transferred to Virginia Tech. That left the Red Raiders with Davis Webb as a sophomore and Mahomes behind him.Again, the elder Mahomes said he questioned his son, suggestingg he might have to sit for two or three years.dddddddddddd But Patrick proved him wrong. He replaced an ailing Webb late in 2014. In Mahomes fourth start, he threw for 598 yards and six touchdowns in a 48-46 loss to Baylor. Last year, he won the job late in camp over Webb, who transferred to Cal.In that freshman season, even as he prepared to play baseball at Tech in the spring of 2015, Mahomes said, he fell hard for football.I love how hard it is to be good, he said. I love being challenged. I love the drive it takes to succeed and having the ball in my hands with the chance to win games.Since that discovery, Mahomes leadership has not wavered.Its his team, Tech receiver Dylan Cantrell said. Its his offense. Everybody knows that.Mahomes 4,653 passing yards as a sophomore ranked fourth nationally. He leads the nation as the lone quarterback to top 1,000 yards through two games this year, after he threw for 540 and five touchdowns Saturday at ASU.He would trade all the stats for more wins.I want to be that first quarterback to bring back a Big 12 championship to this university, Mahomes said. They bleed Texas Tech football here, and they really do want a championship. All their quarterbacks have had a lot of stats, but they havent got that.Patrick told his dad before the season that he would lead Tech to the Big 12 title this year, the elder Mahomes said. Doubt him?I dont doubt anything he says anymore, Pat Mahomes said. Anything hes ever told me, hes done. So Im all in. I believe hes going to win the Big 12.In his first two years at Tech, teammates had a nickname for Mahomes: Fatrick.Cantrell laughed at it this week. He has known Mahomes since they were kids playing baseball on the same teams in Whitehouse.Mahomes added 15 to 20 pounds this year and redistributed additional weight. When he took the field Saturday at Sun Devil Stadium, listed at 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, Mahomes looked more linebacker than quarterback. His improved shape coincided with his decision early in 2016 to leave the Tech baseball team after just one season.Patrick struggled with the new reality as the Red Raiders advanced to the College World Series in June.I know it wasnt an easy decision, Cantrell said. Baseball was his first love. But hes going to do whatever he has to do to win.It starts, Mahomes said, with eliminating those ill-advised throws that resurfaced in the fourth quarter at Arizona State. Mahomes threw 15 interceptions last year. Hes always going to improvise on a few plays because of his athleticism, Cantrell said. But after Techs first loss this season, the QB is more intent than ever on making the smart play every time he touches the ball.Its easier said than done, but I can learn from my mistakes, Mahomes said. Really, its just staying with my reads and progressions. Its something I have to get better at every week. Whether were scoring or theyre scoring, I have to take what [the defense is] giving me.According to Kingsbury, Mahomes has already taken big strides this year. Despite the loss last week, in which Mahomes first interception led to a decisive, short-field touchdown for ASU, the fourth-year coach said he expects to see more progress immediately.For the most part, Mahomes has tightened his mechanics. Plus, the chance to work on football year-round for the first time is no small item.I think thats huge, Kingsbury said.The Red Raiders host Louisiana Tech on Saturday, then open the Big 12 with Kansas, Kansas State and West Virginia before Oklahoma visits Lubbock on Oct. 22.Will Mahomes be ready to take the next step before Techs challenging finish, which features TCU, Texas and Oklahoma State after the Sooners? More pressing, will his supporting cast stand a chance to let him run the offense without the need for perfection?If [the defense] can make one or two stops in the right situation, were going to win the game, Mahomes said. We can score any moment.Scoring has never been the problem. But with the Big 12 race seemingly never more wide-open than it is this season, the Red Raiders can get more from Mahomes in 2016 if he tries to do less. ' ' '
