The Miami Dolphins’ defense is suddenly looked upon by many as a juggernaut because of one great primetime performance against the Baltimore Ravens (10 points allowed), but the unit is still a lowly one regardless of that excellent outing.

If the Joe Flacco-led New York Jets want to succeed against Miami’s defense, they must exploit these three players.
