The Dolphins cruised past the New York Jets 34-13 in the NFL’s first game played on Friday.
One of the most important moments of the game was when Jevon Holland returned an intercepted first-half desperate 99 yards attempt for a score and Raheem Mostert ran for two touchdowns.
Tua Tagovailoa was intercepted twice, including one returned for a score by Brandin Echols, but Miami was in control for most of the game to get a comfortable lead and than the win. The Dolphins (8-3) cushioned their lead atop the AFC East by sending the Jets (4-7) to their fourth straight loss.
Tim Boyle started at quarterback for the Jets in place of the benched Zach Wilson, but New York’s stagnant offense failed to get much going other than Boyle’s 1-yard TD pass to Garrett Wilson with 4:37 remaining.
