Greatest gadget play ever? Dan Marino's fake spike turns 29

It's Thanksgiving week and the Miami Dolphins are in New Jersey to face the New York Jets (3 p.m. ET, Prime Video). It's impossible not to think about what happened 29 years ago -- the Fake Spike game.

The circumstances are different than in the 1994 contest. The Dolphins (7-3) are in first place, just like then, but the matchup doesn't have the same juice because the Jets are three games behind in the AFC East standings.

Still, it's part of Dolphins-Jets lore. Even though most of the current players weren't born when Dan Marino fooled the Jets with his legendary gadget play, it's a timeless moment that warrants a look back.
