In fact, outside of a lateral fueled safety on a comical play to end the contest, the only points put on the board by the Dolphins were all scored by just one man. </p> <p id="m7BYDJ"></p> <p id="NuDUrE">That man is our Week 18 MVP — Most Valuable Phin!</p> <p id="gJ2Hp4"></p> <p id="s4ztMz"><a href="https://www.thephinsider.com/"><strong>Miami Dolphins</strong></a><strong> Week Eighteen MVP - Jason Sanders</strong></p> <p id="M5V1Ok">It has been a rough season for Jason Sanders as a member of the Miami Dolphins. Many fans have been calling for the Dolphins to dump the former All-Pro due to his inability to hit the long kicks like he did just a couple of seasons ago. </p> <p id="ka6vGL"></p> <p id="U4keoE">Before Sunday, Jason Sanders had missed six field goals and three extra point attempts this season.</p> <p id="9lGYix"></p> <p id="gLD9eA">Not many were feeling overly confident when the 27 year old lined up for a game-winning 50 yard try with just 18 seconds left on the clock and the score tied 6-6 despite the fact that he had already made two attempts on the day. Those kicks, however, were both from 37 yards out. </p> <p id="kFLtwR"></p> <p id="tEO6EU">Yet, when the football left the right foot of Sanders, it stayed true and split the uprights nearly right down the middle, giving the Dolphins the victory — and propelling them to the playoffs for the first time since 2016.</p> <p id="29aAqY"></p> <p id="R6af2F">Let’s hope that the confidence gained from his stellar outing against the Jets carries over into Miami’s Wild Card game against the <a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/">Buffalo Bills</a> on Sunday. Sanders’ leg could very well be the difference between another postseason loss or the Dolphins first playoff victory since December 30th, 2000.</p> <p id="Ug4uO4"></p> <p id="EGRXTJ"><strong>MVP TRACKER</strong></p> <p id="pipuUM">Week One - DB Kader Kohou</p> <p id="wv9yrG">Week Two - QB Tua Tagovailoa</p> <p id="qrWxMN">Week Three - S Jevon Holland</p> <p id="t8tK4X">Week Four - WR Tyreek Hill</p> <p id="TmyJgh">Week Five - RB Raheem Mostert</p> <p id="C9hL6b">Week Six - WR Tyreek Hill</p> <p id="hYnCBd">Week Seven - DB Noah Igbinoghene</p> <p id="B6kAq8">Week Eight - QB Tua Tagovailoa</p> <p id="JJRleL">Week Nine - QB Tua Tagovailoa</p> <p id="UXs50o">Week Ten - RB Jeff Wilson</p> <p id="LW0cRD">Week Eleven - BYE</p> <p id="0R9c4Y">Week Twelve - EDGE Jaelan Phillips</p> <p id="jaFFpI">Week Thirteen - WR Tyreek Hill</p> <p id="bU5gkM">Week Fourteen - DT Christian Wilkins</p> <p id="1wa7Wb">Week Fifteen - EDGE Jaelan Phillips</p> <p id="8xag2Q">Week Sixteen - WR Jaylen Waddle</p> <p id="WA90w9">Week Seventeen - DT Zach Sieler</p> <p id="aa6eK7">Week Eighteen - K Jason Sanders</p> <p id="o2yTa9"></p> </div>
