FIVE THINGS WE LEARNED:

Beat writer Omar Kelly’s and Steve Svekis’ five takeaways from Sunday’s win by Miami.

MAYBE CANTON IS POSSIBLE FOR WAKE

Cameron Wake is fewer than 100 days from turning 36 years old, and here he was, terrorizing Josh McCown for 2.5 sacks Sunday. And that was despite a miracle of a Houdini act by McCown to avoid a one-on-one pounding, scrambling right and throwing the ball away. Further, he gets tackled by blockers numerous times a game without it being flagged. As it is, Wake has now logged six sacks through six games. His season high is 15, in 2012. It may still be an outside shot, but it may be time to start at least whispering about his Hall of Fame prospects, with his 87.5 sacks in 122 career games (102 of them starts).

WHAT A STEAL THE KENNY STILLS TRADE HAS BEEN

The Dolphins wideout hauled in a 2-yard pass from Matt Moore — his second touchdown of the game —with 6:19 left and Miami finally caught up with the Jets at 28-28. Stills, who was acquired from New Orleans for linebacker Dannell Ellerbe and a third-round pick — which became defensive back P.J. Williams — has 16 touchdowns for Miami in his 38 career games with the Dolphins, with a solid 15.9 yards per reception (on 89 grabs). Ellerbe played 15 nondescript games for the Saints and Williams has had an injury-marred start to his career.

DOLPHINS A RESILIENT BUNCH

The Dolphins’ comeback win over the Jets gives Miami a 4-2 record for the first time since 2003. That’s 14-years since Miami’s been off to as promising a start as this season, which has been filled with a ton of injuries, drama and adversity. But somehow Adam Gase’s team continues to respond to adversity.

ARE DOLPHINS A LEGITIMATE PLAYOFF CONTENDER?

The Dolphins have featured one of the NFL’s worst offenses this season, and the struggles on third down and the pass-protection issues haven’t gotten much better despite the season high 357 yards Miami produced against the Jets. No matter how good Miami’s defense is — or can be — can the Dolphins return to the playoffs?

TANKERSLEY GIVES UP TWO TOUCHDOWNS — IN FIRST QUARTER

Rookie cornerback Cordrea Tankersley, this year’s third-round pick who started his fourth game of the season, got picked on early by the Jets. Tankersley allowed Jermaine Kearse’s 29-yard touchdown catch, and he was victimized again in the first quarter on Robby Anderson’s 18-yard TD.
