- A 28-25 loss to the Dolphins at MetLife Stadium did not just drop New York to 2-5; it turned the “next step” discussion into a much sharper question about why the results still weren’t there.
- That was the backdrop for a game that looked, on paper, like a chance to see the Jets’ healthier roster start to take shape.
- Instead, Miami left with its first win of the season, and the Jets were left with another reminder that availability alone does not solve the problems that have followed them through the first six games.
- The Dolphins ran for 156 yards on 41 attempts, and their ground game helped them control enough of the afternoon to survive the late push.
- The Dolphins also finished the game by converting a fourth-and-1 rush by Malik Willis with under two minutes left, allowing them to run out the clock and close out the win.
- For New York, the loss sharpened the scrutiny around a team that had already been trying to answer what it could become once healthier.
