After winning the longest NFL game in history that was extended due to lightning delays 27-20 over the Tennessee Titans at Hard Rock Stadium, the Dolphins travel to East Rutherford, NJ to take on the New York Jets for their first divisional contest of 2018.

Their previous meeting on Sept. 22nd, 2017 marked a 20-6 victory for the Gangrene as the Dolphins were still reeling at the loss of quarterback Ryan Tannehill for the season. Jay Ajayi was the leading rusher in the loss with only 16 yards on 11 carries as the Jets dared Jay Cutler to beat them through the air in the passing game.

Since then, both teams have improved their quarterback situation. Tannehill returns to the lineup for Miami, and New York has rookie Sam Darnold under center for his second career start.

Both sides have also upgraded their defenses while the Dolphins also have a better ground game than last year since parting with Ajayi. But that’s just where the storylines begin in this week’s edition of the Dolphin’s Dive.
