Testaverde takes control Jets' quarterback calls own plays in win By Vic Carucci NFL Insider EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (Oct. 23, 2000) — When the New York Jets actually worked with a game plan Monday night, quarterback Vinny Testaverde struggled. Badly. He couldn't get them a single first down against the Miami Dolphins' vaunted defense. In fact, the Jets produced all of seven yards of offense in the first quarter to the Dolphins' 207. By halftime, Miami had 299 yards …

…in his face, and he made a great catch. Just outstanding individual performances all night like that. When we needed it, guys got it done, and that's what I attribute those 20 first downs to. Were you just winging it at the end? Testaverde: I wouldn't say I was just winging it. We were using things we've practiced in the past, but not this past week for the Dolphins. We pulled them out from training camp.
