The Miami Dolphins are surely happy to be back home. The Dolphins (5-7) play host to the New York Jets (3-9) on Sunday in a battle between AFC East franchises nowhere near the destination set when the season began in September. Miami is coming off a 30-17 loss at the Green Bay Packers. After the game, Dolphins linebacker and leading tackler Jordyn Brooks said the cold weather was a factor in Miami's defeat. "I thought we were soft," Brooks said after the Dolphins missed 20 tackles that gave Green Bay an extra 132 yards. "Simple as that." After several days to reflect, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said the team's toughness is there.
