The Miami Dolphins got the last word. For now. Ted Ginn Jr. had two long kickoff returns for touchdowns in the third quarter, and the Dolphins held off the New York Jets for a 30-25 victory Sunday.

And another thing about the Dolphins receivers ... ... Nah, just kidding. The injury report is out and, as usual, the other team is a lot more beat up than the Dolphins.
