Ginn Jr. returns two kickoffs for 100-yard scores

The Miami Dolphins swept their season series with the New York Jets with a lot of help from a player who recently found his way into the coach's doghouse.

Ted Ginn Jr., who was benched as a receiver and didn't catch a pass, returned two kickoffs in the third quarter for 100-yard scores. (Technically, the second return was 101 yards.)

Ginn Jr. becomes the first player to return two kickoffs for scores in the same quarter since Green Bay's Travis Williams did so against the Browns in 1967.

Before today's game, Ginn Jr., who was drafted by the Dolphins with the ninth-overall pick in 2007, never had a kickoff return in the NFL for more than 52 yards.

Not counting today's touchdowns, his only other return touchdown was a punt return he had during his rookie season.
