MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Antonio Allen stood in a corner of the Jets’ locker room, still trying to come to grips with the play that cost the Jets a chance at a victory over the Dolphins and continued hopes — albeit slim — of a playoff run.
The Jets’ special teams’ ace was called for being offside on the kickoff following a touchdown that put his team ahead 23-20 with 5:42 left in the fourth quarter. Only Allen insists he wasn’t offside, and said his contention was backed up by visual evidence.
On the disputed play, the Jets brought down returner Jakeem Grant at the Dolphins’ 19.
