"When the Dolphins run: Miami goes the way of its run game. In the stretch of four wins in five games, the Dolphins have rushed for at least 141 yards in the games won and at least 164 during the three-game winning streak. Running back De'Von Achane is on a tear of 100-yard performances that have now put him at 1,000 yards on the season. Rookie Ollie Gordon II and second-year back Jaylen Wright are now both being used sparingly behind him."
"Right tackle Austin Jackson's return to the lineup for the first time since Week 1 brought more tenacity to the run game from his side, and right guard Cole Strange may have had his best game with Miami in the win against the New Orleans Saints. Meanwhile, center Aaron Brewer and left tackle Patrick Paul continue to do their thing, while the package of Daniel Brunskill as a sixth offensive lineman presents something the Jets didn't see in the first meeting."
The Dolphins have leaned on a strong run game during recent wins, highlighted by De'Von Achane's consecutive 100-yard performances that pushed him to 1,000 yards. Backups Ollie Gordon II and Jaylen Wright are used sparingly. Offensive-line changes, including Austin Jackson's return and a standout game from Cole Strange, have boosted rushing effectiveness, while Daniel Brunskill as a sixth lineman adds variety. New York's run defense ranks near the bottom and lost Quinnen Williams in a trade. Miami previously rushed for 123 yards against the Jets and is expected to attack the ground even more in cold conditions.
