MIAMI, Sept. 27 (UPI) -- Mark Sanchez hurled three touchdown passes and the New York Jets stopped a last-ditch Miami drive with an end-zone interception Sunday to post a 31-23 win.

Sanchez found Dustin Keller in the end zone twice and connected on a 67-yard TD to Braylon Edwards, who had been benched in the first quarter after a drunken driving arrest last week.

Miami reached the Jets' 10-yard-line and was driving for a possible tying score with 27 seconds left when Drew Coleman picked off Chad Henne in the end zone to ice the victory.

Sanchez ended 15-of-28 passes for 256 yards for New York (2-1), finding Keller six times for 98 yards. LaDainian Tomlinson added 70 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries.

Despite the key pick, Henne had an impressive night for the Dolphins (2-1), passing for 363 yards on 26-of-44 throws, 10 of which went to Brandon Marshall for 166 yards and a score.
