Winless Dolphins, Jets Set for Week 7 Clash

The 0-5 Dolphins visit the 2-4 Jets in a Week 7 matchup between struggling AFC East teams, with a New York reporter describing the Jets as more competitive than last year but still held back by mistakes and limited talent. Miami’s run-heavy under-center offense and play-action threat are key concerns for New York, while the Dolphins’ defense has allowed a high rate of completions that could give Geno Smith opportunities. The Jets will also need to contain quarterback Malik Willis, stay disciplined against the run and avoid special-teams mistakes. History offers a warning for New York: it has previously lost to winless teams, including Miami in 2019. The teams enter this latest MetLife Stadium meeting with 13 road wins apiece in their 2000s matchups there.
