The Miami Dolphins, now losers of three consecutive, are a hot mess heading into their by week. A week after falling to the Buffalo Bills by the score of 41-14, Miami took a 27-7 deficit into the fourth quarter against a surprising New York Jets team.
Miami's defensive line — considered a strength at the onset of the season — was absolutely torched by Chris Ivory to the tune of 166 yards and a score on 29 attempts. With a long of 24, Ivory continually picked up large chunks of yards in the early evening hours in London.
It was a career-best performance for a running back that missed last week with a quad injury.
Finding solid balance on offense, the Jets dominated Miami in every way, putting up 425 total yards compared to 226 for a hapless Dolphins squad.
For Miami, this performance will raise a ton of questions heading into the team's bye, most notably the job status of head coach Joe Philbin. The Dolphins are now 1-3 on the season, three games behind the New England Patriots in the loss column. This comes on the heels of high expectations entering a season where the Dolphins seemed primed for a playoff run.
