Monday Night Football results: Dolphins rally late, edge Jets 16-13

It took 13 weeks, but the Jets have finally broken Rex Ryan. The normally fiery coach could only talk about his maladies at the podium after collapsing against the Miami Dolphins.

It’ll be okay, guy. The pain is almost over.

The Miami Dolphins came from behind to take down the New York Jets on Monday Night Football, 16-13. Miami trailed for much of the game, as they were initially unable to stop the Jets from running the football. But the field goal game wasn’t enough to keep the Jets ahead, and a Lamar Miller touchdown late in the fourth gave Miami the boost they needed.

New York had an opportunity to grab the lead right back with under six minutes to go, but kicker Nick Folk missed his second field goal of the day, leaving the game at a 13-13 tie and giving Miami the chance to put the deciding points on the board. They did that, with Caleb Sturgis kicking a 26-yard field goal at the two-minute warning.

Is this part of the NFL’s new Play 60 initiative? Weird -- but hey, this is a Jets fan in training. He’s learning well.

You might ask “What would this look like on a tabloid cover?” Well ...

On the positive side, Miami has only allowed 22 passing yards!

Oh, great. It’s the holidays again. You’ve stuffed yourself with stuffing and now your sweatpants don’t fit anymore. Well, we’ve got the solution: get fit WHILE you watch football. With the ultra-predictable Monday Night Football broadcast, it should be a breeze!

It’s real simple. Think of it like a drinking game, but with more sweating (or less, depending on your drinking regimen). Something on the list happens, you do the appropriate exercise. Got it? Get to it.

The Dolphins seemingly have everything to play for while the Jets are just going through the motions. In this rivalry, however, stranger things have happened.

That’s why it’s so important for Miami to get a win Monday night. The Dolphins -- whose only losses have come to teams that currently have winning records -- should be able to handle a Jets team that has only managed two wins so far this season.

For the Jets, the goal will be to find some offense without turning the ball over, but both have been struggles in 2014. After replacing Geno Smith with Michael Vick in the starting lineup, the Jets did a much better job at avoiding turnovers, and recorded only one in the last three games. However, the team managed just 218 yards of total offense in its last showing and could face a challenge finding yardage against the Dolphins’ fifth-ranked defense. With Smith back in the lineup, the Jets will need to get the offense restarted, but do so without Smith’s penchant for turning the ball over.
