The New York Jets will look to get their first win in the AFC East on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.
The Dolphins won the first game between these two teams down in Miami, 26-18. It was the most embarrassing loss of the season for the Jets at the time, but last week’s loss to the Bengals has topped it.
The Jets are completely depleted in the secondary. Jamal Adams is missing his first game with an ankle sprain, while Brian Poole is out with a concussion and Arthur Maulet is doubtful with a calf injury. Meanwhile, Le’Veon Bell will miss his first game of the season with an illness.
With Bell out, the Jets are going to need both Bilal Powell and Ty Montgomery to pick up the slack. Powell has had some good moments this season as he hits the hole a lot quicker than Bell, who is a patient runner. Sam Darnold is also going to need to have a better game than he did last week.
Defensively, the Jets need to get pressure on Ryan Fitzpatrick. Andy Dalton had way too much time to throw last week and the secondary couldn’t hold its own. If the Jets get pressure on Fitzpatrick it could force him to make some bad throws and interceptions.
As for the Dolphins, they are coming off a win over the Eagles last week and improved their record to 3-9. It’s been a rough season for them, but they’ve found some success as of late and have always given the Jets trouble in their matchups.
