Ryan Tannehill threw for 351 yards through the air, completing 33 out of 58 passes. He had three touchdowns and one interception that game.

Jay Ajayi led the Dolphins in rushing, which wasn’t much. Ajayi carried the ball three times for a total of six yards with his longest carry a six-yard run.

Former LSU Tiger, Jarvis Landry, led the team in receiving. Landry caught 13 passes, amassing a total of 165 yards. He had one touchdown on the day with his longest reception a 40-yard catch.

The Dolphins are looking worse and worse. The absence of Cameron Wake was definitely felt as Fitzpatrick went untouched the whole game. Fitzpatrick seems to be getting a groove in New York for he has struggled much more with other teams in the past.

The Jets are in second place in AFC East. Now who ever thought they’d read that?
