  • Miami moved to 1-3 as Tua Tagovailoa went 17-for-25 for 177 yards with two touchdown passes and no turnovers.
  • The Jets fell to 0-4, undermined by three turnovers and 13 penalties, despite 197 rushing yards and Justin Fields’ 226 passing yards and 43-yard TD run.
  • The Dolphins said Hill was taken to a hospital for imaging, evaluation and observation after a third‑quarter knee injury; no further status was announced.
