30. Things got off to a good start on Saturday night against the visiting Jets as quarterback Bryce Petty led his team on a seven-play, 75-yard touchdown drive on New York’s first possession of the game. But the Jets never reached the end zone the rest of the game and Petty would eventually leave with a chest injury after throwing for one score and two interceptions while being sacked three times. The lone bright spot on the evening was running back Bilal Powell, who totaled 162 yards from scrimmage on 16 carries and 12 receptions. Meanwhile, Dolphins quarterback Matt Moore threw for 236 yards and four touchdowns (1 interception) against the disappointing Jets’ defense. <p>Next Week: It’s the second of their two meetings with the New England Patriots, who came up with a 22-17 victory in Week 12 at MetLife Stadium. The Jets have lost seven straight regular-season games at Foxborough dating back to 2009. But New York came away with a 28-21 upset win in the 2010 AFC Divisional Playoffs.</p> <p>Draft talk: Once again, Todd Bowles’ defense gave up too many big plays – including long touchdown receptions to Dolphins wide receivers Kenny Still (52 yards) and Jarvis Landry (66 yards) on Saturday night. Some early help for the secondary would be a wise move. And an edge rusher for a team with only 15 sacks in their last 13 games this season would be a good addition to the wish list.</p>. 4-10.
