EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Just one day after President Donald Trump spoke out against NFL players kneeling in protest during the national anthem, Jets players, backed by the support of owner Christopher Johnson and head coach Todd Bowles, linked arms and stood together in solidarity during the playing of the national anthem.
The statement made was heard loud and clear as the Jets trumped the Miami Dolphins 20-6 with the help of a young, and ‘widely unknown’, receiving core including Robby Anderson, Jermaine Kearse, and Ardarius Stewart. Anderson, after getting off to a slow start in the first two games of the 2017 campaign, went off with 3 receptions for 95 yards including one booming 69 yard touchdown reception that widened the lead to 10-0 …show more content…
New York came into this game with one goal in mind, to contain the dynamic skillset of Miami’s Jay Ajayi and force quarterback Jay Cutler to beat them. They did just that as the 2016 pro bowler finished with just 16 rushing yards on 11 carries while Cutler completed just 26/44 passes while tacking on to his notorious interception count over the years. In fact, the one touchdown Cutler through in this game came with just 6 second left on the clock in the 4th quarter down by 20. It was no surprise to anyone who watched this game that the Dolphins kicker, Cody Parkey, would miss the PAT just seconds later to wrap up what was an embarrassment to Miami football.
What this means for Miami: After a 1-0 start to the season defeating the newly named Los Angeles Chargers last week, Miami has now fallen to 1-1. 14 games is plenty of time to recover in this league, but a loss to this Jets team sure doesn’t help. Good news for the Dolphins is they’ll get another shot at the Jets later on in the year. However, this loss may come back to bite them, especially in a division that New England has dominated for the past
