Let’s take a closer look at the Jets opponent this week:

Miami Dolphins

Record: 1-0

Head coach: Adam Gase (second year); Offensive coordinator: Clyde Christensen; Defensive coordinator: Matt Burke

Overview: The Dolphins lost quarterback Ryan Tannehill to a season-ending knee injury in training camp. They convinced Jay Cutler to come out of retirement and the broadcast booth to take over as their QB. Hurricane Irma forced the postponement of their season opener, and they spent last week practicing in Los Angeles before defeating the Chargers on Sunday. They play in New Jersey this week, then London next week before playing their home opener on Oct. 8.

Best offensive player: Jarvis Landry had 13 catches for 78 yards last week against the Chargers. Miami threw a ton of short passes to him, going with a conservative game plan in Cutler’s debut. Landry had a monster season last year, with 94 catches for 1,136 yards and four touchdowns. He will be a matchup problem for the Jets.

Best defensive player: It is easy to forget how dominant defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh can be because he’s done it for so long, you almost take it for granted. He has 47 sacks since 2010, the second most among defensive tackles in that time and 375 tackles in that time, the most among defensive tackles. Jets right guard Brian Winters is banged up, which could leave backup Dakota Dozier facing Suh.

Biggest offensive concern: The Dolphins went 0-for-3 in the red zone last week in Los Angeles, despite moving the ball well. Miami needs to get things fixed near the end zone.

They just traded for Stephone Anthony after suspending Lawrence Timmons, who went AWOL last week. Right now, Mike Hull is starting in the middle.

Injury to watch: Both running back Jay Ajayi and Landry are dealing with knee injuries. Both are believed to be minor, but the Dolphins can’t afford to lose either guy.

Coach’s quote: Gase on Suh’s game against the Chargers: “I saw a guy that was not going to be blocked. When they were trying to run the ball, it didn’t matter if there was two guys on him or one guy, he was penetrating, creating negative plays [and] causing chaos. Basically the same thing I’ve seen every week since I’ve been here.”
