The last time the Jets faced the Dolphins, they were shut out 24-0 and looked the worst they have all season. That game signaled a deviation between the two squads, one that sent the Jets further down the winless road on their way to possible 0-16 season, while the Dolphins went on to win three of their next four games, build a nice 6-4 record and contend for a playoff berth.
As the teams meet again, not much has changed (except, potentially, the quarterbacks). Tua Tagovailoa will start for the Dolphins after a late-game benching last week, while Joe Flacco could earn his third consecutive start if Sam Darnold’s shoulder isn’t fully healed. While the Jets’ offense looks much improved since that Week 6 loss, they haven’t been able to pull off wins.
They’ll try to change that this Sunday. In the meantime, here are four things to know about the Jets’ Week 12 match with the Dolphins.
