EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York got a safety on Miami's first offensive play, Michael Carter scored on a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs and the Jets ran past the Dolphins 40-17 on Sunday to snap a 12-game skid against AFC East opponents.
Zach Wilson, Breece Hall and Braxton Berrios also rushed for scores to help the Jets to their first 3-2 start since 2017. It was the franchise's first win against a division rival since topping Buffalo in Week 17 of the 2019 season.
The Dolphins lost another quarterback to injury when Teddy Bridgewater -- starting for Tua Tagovailoa -- was hit by rookie cornerback Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner on a blitz as he was about to throw on Miami's first play from scrimmage.
