Force turnovers

The Jets defense needs takeaways against this hot Dolphins team.

They didn’t force any turnovers against the Bengals in last week’s loss, which was the first time since the Jets’ Week 9 match with the Dolphins. It was a big reason why the Bengals continued to build momentum on offense.

Luckily for New York, the Dolphins rank third in giveaways with 23 and Ryan Fitzpatrick is tied for sixth in the league with 11 interceptions. Turnovers change games and the Jets defense hasn’t been forcing them with enough regularity to make them competitive in most games. That needs to change against the Dolphins is the Jets want to get back on track to end the year.
