NYJ vs. MIA Live updates Score, results, highlights, for Sunday's NFL game

Through 3 Quarters

The Miami Dolphins were expected to win this one, and they are just one quarter away from fulfilling that expectation. They have emerged as the frontrunner after three quarters and are ahead of the New York Jets 13-3. Both teams are trying to put recent losses behind them.

The Dolphins' offense has come from several players so far, with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick leading the way by passing for one TD and 229 yards on 34 attempts. Fitzpatrick has been efficient, with a passer rating of 128.

Miami is struggling to protect the pocket and have allowed four sacks. They are going to have to protect Fitzpatrick better if they want to hold on to their lead.

What to Know

The Miami Dolphins are 7-2 against the New York Jets since November of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Sunday. Miami and New York will face off in an AFC East battle at 1 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

The Dolphins came within a touchdown against the Denver Broncos last week, but they wound up with a 20-13 loss. No one had a standout game offensively for Miami, but they got scores from WR DeVante Parker and QB Tua Tagovailoa.

Meanwhile, New York was hampered by 88 penalty yards against the Los Angeles Chargers last week. New York was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 34-28 to Los Angeles. Nobody on the Jets really separated themselves from the pack offensively, but they got scores from a handful of players including RB Frank Gore, WR Breshad Perriman, and TE Chris Herndon. QB Joe Flacco ended up with a passer rating of 122.70.

The Dolphins are the favorite in this one, with an expected 7-point margin of victory. Those burned by picking them against the spread last week might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

Miami is now 6-4 while New York sits at 0-10. A pair of offensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: Miami is stumbling into the matchup with the third fewest rushing yards per game in the NFL, having accrued only 94.4 on average. New York has experienced some struggles of their own as they are worst in the league in overall offensive touchdowns, with only 14 on the season. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
