Dolphins Thump Jets 34-10, Defense and Run Game Stretch Streak to Four

Coaching tweaks fuel a run-first identity that stabilizes Miami.

Overview

  • Miami moved to 6-7 with its fourth straight win, holding New York to 65 rushing yards and 1-for-12 on third down in a 34-10 result.
  • Since Week 10, the defense is allowing 13.3 points per game with 10 takeaways and a plus-7 turnover margin, capped by six sacks and three takeaways on Sunday.
  • The offense piled up 239 rushing yards and three touchdowns, with Jaylen Wright running for 107 yards and a score after De'Von Achane produced 92 yards before exiting with a rib injury.
  • Mike McDaniel said Achane’s rib issue likely will not cost him time and credited streamlined meetings and communication changes for the team’s cohesion.
  • Special teams remained a weak spot after a 78-yard punt return touchdown and a successful fake punt by the Jets, with a trip to the Steelers next on Monday night.
