Jets takeaways from devastating loss to Miami Dolphins, including Josh McCown's INT

The New York Jets suffered another ugly loss on Sunday afternoon, this time to their division rivals, the Miami Dolphins, with a final score of 31-28.

If you have a heart condition, it might be time for you to stop watching the Miami Dolphins. The two-play, 1-yard drive was set up by New York’s defense.

That run was snapped Sunday, but host NY may have earned more respect with a 24-17 loss to the reigning Super Bowl champion New England Patriots than in any of its three wins. The Jets need him healthy because they have just seven sacks this season as a team – zero from the defensive linemen. With two minutes remaining in the first half, McCown also rushed for his second touchdown this season and the 10 of his career to give the Jets a 21-14 lead. That the Jets surrendered that lead before halftime? He’s still a strong player against the run, tied for third on the team with 29 tackles, and will make plays on the ball in the passing game too as evident with his three passes defensed. They don’t. They went back to school in coverage, like they did (especially Adams), against Rob Gronkowski. Forte was sidelined two games with turf toe, but returned last week and finished with 22 yards.

One of the things that made Williams such a special player in his second season was his ability to consistently affect the game as a pass rusher while also being a dominant run defender who can line up all over a defense.

Only rookie tight end Jordan Leggett is slated as out for this game.

The Dolphins scored 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. DeVante Parker, Andre Branch, Xavien Howard and Byron Maxwell are all listed as questionable.

It became clear midway through the week that Powell was going to be ready to go, as he was participating fully in practices.

The Miami Dolphins look to continue their turnaround this season. Last week, Miami rallied from 17 points down against the defending NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons on the road to win 20-17.

“As a quarterback and a professional there’s not a worst feeling than that”, said McCown, who completed 17-of-27 for 209 yards and three touchdowns before the late pick. Jay Ajayi was held to 2.2 yards per attempt.

Defensively, the Dolphins sacked Matt Ryan twice and picked him off once. Yet because they keep winning close games, only three teams in the AFC have a better record.

Well, the next time the Dolphins had the ball, Moore drove the Dolphins 54 yards in six plays to the tying touchdown pass.

The Dolphins were able to tilt momentum in their direction even after the fall of their starting quarterback, or at least they’d like to think. The New York Jets look to continue their surprisingly successful season so far. Lose 10 straight? Absolutely. The rest, as they say, is history.
