The Jets will have a chance to put their embarrassing Week 9 loss to the Dolphins behind them when Miami comes to town on Sunday.
New York not only gave the Dolphins their first win of the season that week, but it turned in a performance that made many wonder what was up with Sam Darnold and the direction of the offense. The Jets couldn’t get much going throughout the course of the afternoon and ultimately faltered down the stretch in a loss that certainly stung.
All of that has a chance to become ancient history in Week 14. As long as the Jets focus on these four keys to their offense, they’ll be in good shape.
Avoid past mistakes
When the Jets went down to Miami in October, they simply couldn’t get out of their own way. From turnovers to poor throws and questionable reads by Sam Darnold, New York’s offense found itself stuck in a rut.
There’s no doubt that Adam Gase has been harping on eliminating the mistakes of October in film sessions throughout the week. The Jets’ offense has looked worlds better since that game (even despite last week’s setback against the Bengals), so it’s not unreasonable to assume Darnold can put the past behind him and turn in a solid performance on Sunday.
The Dolphins play hard, but they’re still 3-9 and feature a roster that lacks depth and talent in certain areas. As long as the Jets can shake off what transpired in Week 9, they’ll be able to take advantage of that.
