Jets face a ‘huge’ home test vs. winless Dolphins as AFC East rivals square off
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — With their October must-win games seeming less like a cliché and more of a necessity, the New York Jets face a critical home showdown against the winless Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Wide receiver Garrett Wilson emphasized the significance of the match, stating that it's crucial for the Jets to maintain their position at the season's end.
Quarterback Geno Smith echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of the divisional rivalry games, especially considering their early-season struggles. The Dolphins, similarly rebuilding, aim to avoid their fifth 0-6 start in franchise history, a feat last achieved in 2019. Miami's coach Jeff Hafley, fresh off a bye week, expressed his excitement about returning to action, while his players remain optimistic about turning their season around.
The looming matchup between these AFC East rivals promises to be a test of resilience and determination for both teams.
