The first half of Monday night’s Jets-Dolphins game neatly symbolized this entire Dolphins season.
Miami left you with the impression that they aren’t that bad. That they should be winning. But the team kept blowing opportunities, and trail 14-6 in New Jersey.
The Dolphins have 215 yards to only 100 for the Jets. But a 100-yard interception return by Darrelle Revis and two stalled trips by Miami inside the 10-yard line told the story.
Brandon Marshall dropped one touchdown, and inexplicably lost his balance and ran out of bounds to kill another.
New York didn’t even have a first down until midway through the second quarter. Mark Sanchez looked skittish while directing four straight three and outs.
The Jets are a struggling team that can ill afford to lose on Monday night. It looks like they just need to not do anything too stupid, and let Miami make the big mistakes for them.
