Jets 27, Dolphins 14: Jets Cross Atlantic and Cruise Past the Dolphins

LONDON — Maybe it was the sleep consultant. Maybe it was the special light-reducing sunglasses. Maybe — and oh, if wishing made it so — it was the imported toilet paper.

No one on the Jets was quite sure why, exactly, the team finished off its short, strange, trans-Atlantic N.F.L. week with such a dominant start to its game against Miami on Sunday, but there was no denying it was critical.

One week after a sloppy opening led to a letdown loss to Philadelphia, there was no time for jet lag. And so, on the first snap by the Jets’ offense, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick called a play known as Double Go — basically two receivers going deep — and then hit Brandon Marshall for a 58-yard completion down the sideline.
