Zach Wilson was benched by the New York Jets, who may have their playoff hopes hanging in the balance. Starting in Week 12, Tim Boyle has guided the Jets through an offensive nightmare on Black Friday against the Miami Dolphins.
The game appeared to be unattractive, and it quickly lived up to that expectation. The Jets’ offense is ranked 30th in terms of points per game, while Miami’s offense leads the league in scoring. But when Brandin Echols intercepted a pass from Tua Tagavailoa in the second quarter and put New York ahead, the Jets’ defense gave them a chance.

The end result was a 34-13 victory for the Dolphins on Black Friday, an offensive nightmare.
The game appeared to be unattractive, and it quickly lived up to that expectation. The Jets’ offense is ranked 30th in terms of points per game, while Miami’s offense leads the league in scoring. But when Brandin Echols intercepted a pass from Tua Tagavailoa in the second quarter and put New York ahead, the Jets’ defense gave them a chance.
That was a fleeting momentum. The Dolphins responded with a demoralizing 99-yard touchdown with no time left in the half. Security Boyle attempted a Hail Mary, but Jevon Holland stopped him and ran it all the way to the house.
The Jets’ performance in the second half was hardly any better; they at least managed an offensive touchdown but otherwise stumbled to their fourth consecutive defeat.
