Miami (4-7) now has dropped four of five and is 3-4 under interim coach Dan Campbell, who took over after Joe Philbin was sacked following the Dolphins’ lopsided loss to the Jets in London.

The Jets special teams were on their game once again, starting with kicker Randy Bullock who was ideal on the afternoon with 8 points scored on five extra points and a 41-yard field goal.
Tannehill was upset that Jets players – led by safety Calvin Pryor – celebrated Pryor’s big hit that knocked Miami receiver Rishard Matthews out of the game in the first quarter. Taylor is in his fourth year in Miami and will remain the quarterback coach as well. The answer, of course, is that this is the same league in which the Jets are now 6-5 and a legitimate playoff contender even though this is the same outfit that had lost four of its previous five games, with fewer than 300 total yards of offense in two of the last three. The Jets look to right the ship when they host the Miami Dolphins on Sunday in a crucial AFC East battle among wild-card contenders. Employing numerous up-tempo, spread concepts he came into contact with while operating as a piece of Chip Kelly’s staff in Philadelphia, Lazor managed to simplify reads for Tannehill and make use his quarterback’s former wide-receiver athleticism to the unit’s advantage.
Decker added, “We’ll pitch in for a weekly trim”. He has broken ribs, according to an NFL Network report.
-PASS DEFENSE: F. WR Brandon Marshall (nine receptions, 131 yards, 2 TDs) abused CB Brent Grimes.
NY took control in the opening half.
“That’s so long ago and, shoot, I assume there are only a handful of guys left that actually played in that game”, Mangold said. Landry got much of his career-high 165 yards receiving when the game was out of hand. His backup, Andre Ellington, was diagnosed with turf toe after leaving Sunday’s game.
Zac Taylor never expected to wake up on Monday and find out that he’s the acting offensive coordinator for the Dolphins. “I wanted to keep the ball at the end of the game and throw that one in the trophy case because being a seventh-round pick, being a guy who really wasn’t recruited to play college football, all that stuff, it’s been a pretty cool ride”.
Although a legal hit, both the Dolphins and Jets were forced to comment on the play as it created a stir between the teams.
RUSHING OFFENSE: B. Running back Chris Ivory (21 carries for 87 yards and one touchdown) returned to his relentlessly bruising ways as he wore down the Dolphins, who surrendered 86 of Ivory’s yards after contact. They started to fight their way back Sunday, showing they can dominate an opponent just like they did earlier this season. A 40-yard completion to Landry led to Landry’s 5-yard TD catch to make it 21-7.
-RUN DEFENSE: F. Miami allowed 137 yards rushing.
