Dolphins host Jets hoping to shake off embarrassing loss to Titans and avoid more major injuries

Associated Press  

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins have done almost everything they’ve needed to since playing the New York Jets three weeks ago — except stay healthy. You’re rivals, you play them twice a year, you guys know each other too well, so it’s definitely a game you want to win.” Coach Robert Saleh this week characterized their Week 12 meeting as a mix of “unfortunate situations” and “missed opportunities.” He also doesn’t think the familiarity of playing the Dolphins just three weeks ago helps or hurts the Jets, who are not technically out of the playoff race despite struggling for most of the season. “He’s going to take care of what’s in his hands,” McDaniel said, “but he’s such an important part of our team that we’re gonna make sure that when he’s on the field he’s not at risk of further injuring himself.” NO PRESSURE Dolphins defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said he doesn’t regret not sending more blitzes at Will Levis during Tennessee’s two late touchdown drives. “I needed to call it better, and we needed to play it better.” ZACH’S BACK Wilson had perhaps the best game of his career last week against Houston, throwing for 301 yards with two touchdowns and leading New York into the end zone three times overall. “He’s been working, he’s been getting better and give him credit: He played free on Sunday.” Wilson rebounded from a two-game benching to be selected AFC offensive player of the week for his performance.
