Heading into the third quarter the Miami Dolphins led the New York Jets by 7 points and that lead, and the score of 10-3, would not change.

The third quarter featured seven punts and one fumble. Chad Henne, the Dolphins quarterback, lost the football to Jets safety Brodney Pool. The Jets followed up the fumble recovery with a 6 yard, 1:05 drive that ended with a Steve Weatherford punt that was not returned.
Dolphins punter Brandon Fields has punted well enough to have CBS' announcing crew naming him the game's MVP. Fields put on a show from the punting position, kicking a season long 69 yard punting during the third quarter.
Miami Dolphins rookie cornerback Nolan Carroll appeared to be tripped by a member of the Jets personnel during one of the punt returns. The rookie stayed on the ground for a little bit, eventually getting up and returning to the game.
