New York Jets vs. Miami Dolphins: Game summary
1st Quarter
The first quarter didn’t see much action, with each team falling to make good on two long drives. In a four-minute, 10-play drive, the Miami Dolphins were only able to advance 37 yards and could only score a 47-yard field goal. The New York Jets’ case was even more egregious, as they wasted almost eight minutes and 12 plays to advance 82 yards and lose the ball through a fumble.
2nd Quarter
The Dolphins managed to extend their lead on their first drive of the second quarter, scoring a touchdown after 15 plays, 8:40 minutes, and 96 yards. The drive ended on a 4-yard pass from Tua Tagovailoa to Darren Waller. In their next drive, the Jets again lost the ball through a fumble. They did manage to stop Miami in the following drive and scored a 58-yard field goal in the last drive of the half.
3rd Quarter
The third quarter started with yet another fumble by the New York Jets in their kickoff return, their third of the night. On the following drive, the Miami Dolphins suffered what could be a catastrophe for their season, as wide receiver Tyreek Hill suffered an injury that forced him off the field. It’s believed that he dislocated his knee. The drive ended on a touchdown for Miami, a nine-yard pass from Tagovailoa to Darren Waller after six plays. The Jets replied in the following drive with a touchdown of their own, a 43-yard quarterback scramble by Justin Fields. In the following drive, the Dolphins scored again, in a nine-yard run by De’Von Achane.
4th Quarter
The quarter started with the New York Jets scoring a 50-yard field goal with kicker Nick Folk. This was followed by two drives, which ended in punts, one per team. With 3:33 left on the clock, the Dolphins answered with a field goal of their own. A 36-yarder by Riley Patterson. With 1:49 left on the clock, New York came within a touchdown of winning the game, with Justin Fields completing a 23-yard touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson.
It was too little too late, Miami won 27-21.
