It’s the first meeting of the season between these longtime AFC East rivals. Can the New York Jets cool off the suddenly-revived Miami Dolphins?
From a Week 1 victory at Foxborough to a seven-game skid to consecutive wins over the Texans and Ravens, those triumphs in the span of five days.
The Miami Dolphins own a 3-7 record and have seven games remaining on their schedule. It would take a lot for this team to find its way into the AFC’s seven-team playoff field due largely to the fact that entering Week 11, 12 of the conference’s 16 teams are .500 or better.
This week, it’s the first of two meeting with the rival New York Jets. It’s a series that the Dolphins have owned as of late. Dating back to 2015, Miami has prevailed in eight of the 10 meetings.
5. RB Myles Gaskin with 150-plus scrimmage yards
He leads the team in rushing attempts (100), yards on the ground (344) and total touchdowns (4). Running back Myles Gaskin has been one of the Dolphins’ more reliable offensive players, albeit for a unit that has gained the fourth-fewest total yards in the league.
The three-year pro also ranks third on the team with 38 receptions. And his three touchdown catches is tied for the club lead with rookie wide receiver. He figures to put up substantial numbers against a Jets’ defense that has allowed the most total yards per game in the NFL.
