Danny Sheridan’s line: Even
Jets’ keys to victory
If the Jets give QB Sam Darnold space to operate, they should be fine against a lackluster Dolphins team. Darnold has the mobility, accuracy and arm strength to extend plays on his own, and he’s coming off the Week 1 high of a blowout loss over the Lions. But the offensive line still needs to consistently prove it can give him time in the pocket to take shots down the field. The line struggled mightily last season, but the unit looks much improved with the addition of C Spencer Long and healthier incumbents.
Dolphins’ keys to victory
Just as the Jets need to protect Darnold to win, the Dolphins need to knock down the rookie. Miami boasts a better pass rush than New York saw against the Lions. Defensive ends Cameron Wake and Robert Quinn will keep the Jets busy in the trenches, giving Miami a shot at rattling Darnold.
Who wins?
The Dolphins shouldn’t pose much of a threat to the Jets aside from their pass rush. Even if the rush succeeds, Darnold has the composure and athleticism to shake off and avoid sacks. Miami’s other top threat is its WR core with DeVante Parker, Danny Amendola and Kenny Stills, but the Jets secondary should have no problem shutting them and QB Ryan Tannehill down. It intercepted Matthew Stafford four times in Week 1.
Jets, 21-10
