"MIAMI GARDENS - The Dolphins got the victory they needed, and for the most part they looked good while winning. Granted, holding on to defeat the winless New York Jets, 27-21, isn't a reason to get too excited. But a win is a win. We'll see what coach Mike McDaniel and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa can do without wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who sustained a dislocated left knee and torn ACL in the third quarter that will end his season. The Dolphins (1-3) might be on their way to better things. We'll see how they fare this week at Carolina."
"Run game: A Running back De'Von Achane (20 carries, 99 yards, one touchdown) had a productive night as did the Dolphins (31-123, one touchdown). Center Aaron Brewer, right guard Cole Strange and left guard Jonah Savaiinaea did a good job vs. Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, who can wreck a gameplan by himself. On the downside, running back Ollie Gordon II had seven carries for 10 yards, and ideally the Dolphins want him to have more carries and more yards."
"Pass game: A The story here is Hill's knee injury. But let's move past that briefly. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (17 of 25, 177 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions, no sacks, 114.9 passer rating) was efficient, tight end Darren Waller (three receptions, 27 yards, two touchdowns) was impressive and wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (three receptions, 48 yards) was good enough. Pass protection was strong. But Hill (six receptions, 67 yards) is going to be missed greatly. He made everyone better, including Waddle, Tagovailoa and McDaniel as a playcaller."
The Dolphins beat the New York Jets 27-21 while losing wide receiver Tyreek Hill to a dislocated left knee and torn ACL that ends his season. The team moved to 1-3 and will play at Carolina next week. The rushing attack earned an A, paced by De'Von Achane (20 carries, 99 yards, one touchdown) and solid interior blocking from Aaron Brewer, Cole Strange and Jonah Savaiinaea. The passing game earned an A with Tua Tagovailoa efficient (17 of 25, 177 yards, two touchdowns) and Darren Waller impactful. Run defense earned a D- after allowing 197 rushing yards on 28 carries, though Jack Jones forced a key fumble near the goal line to prevent a touchdown.
