The Dolphins lead the Jets at halftime Saturday night, 13-10.
After Matt Moore threw a 52-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Stills at the two-minute warning, the Jets drove and got a 48-yard field goal by Nick Folk to cut their deficit to three.
With Ryan Tannehill injured and in a cast on the sideline, Moore is making his first start since 2011 in a must-win game for the 8-5 Dolphins.
Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake has a strip-sack and an interception, both in Dolphins’ territory, and without those plays the Jets might have the lead.
The Dolphins won two important challenges. The first overturned a call of incomplete pass and gave Dion Sims a 1-yard touchdown catch. The second overturned a third-down conversion by the Jets just over midfield, and after the spot was corrected the Dolphins got a fourth-down stop.
The Jets then challenged that spot and lost. A few plays later, Moore found Stills in the middle of the field.
The Dolphins’ first touchdown drive covered 52 yards in eight plays. Andrew Franks missed the extra point, and the Jets kept the lead.
Up 7-0, the Jets were inside the Dolphins’ 25-yard line on their second series when Wake forced Jets quarterback Bryce Petty to fumble and Ndamukong Suh recovered. The Jets were driving again in the second quarter when Wake dropped into coverage and intercepted Petty.
Petty threw a 40-yard touchdown pass to Robby Anderson to open the scoring.
