The Miami Dolphins face the New York Jets in an NFL game today on the Monday Night Football game schedule. The Dolphins are 6-5 on the season and are fighting for a playoff spot in the AFC East, while their division rival NY Jets are 2-9 on the year and are still trying to sort out their quarterback situation while also assessing the future of their head coach. Tonight’s game has a primetime start time and airs on a national TV channel as well as a live stream online.
Ryan Tannehill is having his best season for the Dolphins with 2582 passing yards and twenty touchdown passes, finally living up to his first round NFL Draft status. Miami’s secondary is depleted by injuries, meaning Pro Bowl cornerback Brent Grimes will be playing alongside a corner who wasn’t on the roster this time last week. But the NY Jets passing game may not be able to exploit the issue. Veteran QB Michael Vick has been benched, giving the starting job back to Geno Smith, who was himself benched earlier in the season. Head coach Rex Ryan is likely in his final season in New York, and is effectively auditioning for the next team that hires him.
Dolphins vs Jets is one of the fiercest rivalries in the NFL thanks not only to the fact that they share a division but also due to the large number of New Yorkers who have transplanted to Miami, creating a cultural rivalry between the two fan bases. The rivalry has included everything from the “Miracle at the Meadowlands” to the Dan Marino Fake Spike play.
Today’s Miami Dolphins vs New York Jets NFL Monday Night Football game has a start time schedule of 8:30pm eastern time and airs on TV channel ESPN nationwide as well as a live stream online.
