Jets fall to 0-4 after 27-21 loss to Dolphins

The New York Jets fell to 0-4 after a 27-21 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Monday night at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla., a game marked by turnovers, penalties and a string of injuries that left the visiting team searching for answers. Miami earned its first win of the season while New York again squandered opportunities despite outgaining the Dolphins 404 yards to 300.

The Jets turned the ball over three times and were penalized 13 times for 101 yards, mistakes that repeatedly swung momentum to Miami. New York’s opening drive produced a 12-play, 82-yard march that ended when Braelon Allen fumbled at the goal line. Justin Fields fumbled on the next possession, and Isaiah Williams lost a kickoff return to start the second half; Miami converted two of those turnovers into touchdowns. Garrett Wilson had what would have been an 18-yard touchdown wiped away by an offensive pass interference call at the end of the third quarter, forcing New York to settle for a field goal. Wilson later hauled in a contested touchdown and Fields converted a two-point attempt to bring the score to 27-21, but Miami recovered the ensuing onside kick to seal the victory.
