Jets' Discipline Issues Highlighted by Clemons' Ejection in Loss to Dolphins

A series of personal fouls, including an incident that left an umpire bloodied, underscored a troubling lack of discipline in the Jets' 34-13 defeat to the Dolphins.

• Micheal Clemons, a defensive lineman for the New York Jets, was ejected from a game against the Miami Dolphins after inadvertently striking umpire Carl Paganelli in the face during a scuffle, causing Paganelli to spit up blood.
• The incident marked a continuation of a troubling week for Clemons, who had previously tangled with Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins in a separate game, leading to a postgame confrontation.
• Jets' linebacker C.J. Mosley was also flagged for two personal fouls during the game, one of which occurred during the same scuffle that led to Clemons' ejection.
• The Jets' discipline issues extended beyond Clemons and Mosley, with four of their six penalties during the game being categorized as personal fouls.
• The Jets lost the game to the Dolphins 34-13, with their performance marred by struggles on both offense and defense, as well as the costly personal fouls.
