Jets QB Tim Boyle threw a pick-6 to end the first half vs Dolphins. Fans had a blast
Hope for the New York Jets quickly turned into a Black Friday steal for the Miami Dolphins.
Tua Tagovailoa threw two interceptions late in the second quarter, one that Brandin Echols returned for a touchdown. His second pick set up Tim Boyle, who was named the starter in favor of Zach Wilson this week, for a chance at a Hail Mary to give the Jets a surprising halftime lead.
But Dolphins safety Jevon Holland had other ideas. He intercepted the bomb and weaved his way back up the field for a touchdown that gave Miami a 17-6 lead at intermission. To top it off, he caused Boyle to fall over with one last juke move to get him to the end zone.

I can not believe what I just saw.
A 99-yard Hail Mary Pick Six.
Tim Boyle’s first TD pass as a Jet.— Rich Eisen (@richeisen) November 24, 2023
At least Tim Boyle can say he threw for a 99-yard touchdown today.
