The Dolphins now sit on the outside looking in, needing help from fellow rivals the New England Patriots to get back into the second Wild Card slot. But the head coach insisted on shouldering the blame. He has made some mistakes you would expect from a young QB. “A little sore right now, but I’ll be fine”.

The Dolphins have won eight of their last nine games. X-rays immediately after the game also were negative.

Tonight’s matchup features an 8-5 Miami Dolphins team that is just barely on the outside of the playoff picture. “It starts at the top”. “When we’re not winning ballgames, it starts with me”.

Now in his sixth season in Miami, Moore last started a game in 2011.

Petty, who completed a 28-yard pass to Robby Anderson despite the hits, remained facedown on the field for a few minutes before getting up and slowly walking off the field.

The Jets think Hackenberg is enough of a project that they have given him a total redshirt season, not wanting to even have him suit up for a game. Now, the quarterback is trying to keep the Dolphins in the playoff hunt. When the second half began, it was anyone’s ballgame with Miami up 13-10. Walt Aikens returned a Dolphins blocked punt 11 yards for the touchdown.

“It started the swing”, Bowles said. It is still unclear if Petty will be healthy enough to play on Christmas Eve in New England. Second-year pro Bryce Petty is making his third career start against Miami, extending his audition to be New York’s quarterback of the future. “We knew what kind of game it was going to be coming in. and I think the guys prepared and we got a win”.

Tackling – Some of the Dolphins’ tackling issues this game could be attributed to Kiko Alonso and Jelani Jenkins both trying to play the game with casts on their arms, but this is not the first time tackling has been an issue for Miami. Jarvis Landry is still a threat at receiver, as he has caught 79 passes for 923 yards and two scores. Miami did not need it, but it would be nice for the league to not punish the replay triumvirate for being good. “It turned into a pressure game there midway through, we had to have some answers and we did”.

The Jets have two games left in this dismal season, and will have plenty of questions in the offseason.

So how would Bowles grade his own job performance?

“It’s everybody”, Wilkerson said. “As coaches, you want to take the blame”. Tannehill’s been playing good for them.

“Like a 4-10 team”, he said. The Dolphins just looked like a better team.
