The Miami Dolphins vs the New York Jets game on December 7, 2025, became one of the most one-sided matchups of the week. The Dolphins dominated with a huge 34–10 victory, showing strength in offense, defense, and overall strategy. It wasn’t just a win — it was a complete performance from the first minute to the last whistle.
Early Momentum: How Miami Took Control Instantly
Fast Start That Stunned the Jets
Right from the opening drive, Miami looked sharp and confident. Tua Tagovailoa connected with Jaylen Waddle for a quick gain, and then De’Von Achane burst through the defense with a 39-yard run.
Within minutes, Miami scored its first touchdown. Soon after, Achane added another rushing touchdown, making the score 14–0 before the Jets could even settle in.
It was like watching a team that already knew exactly how the game would unfold.
Miami’s Rushing Attack Dominated the Field
Achane, Wright, and Gordon Took Turns Hurting the Jets
When Achane left the game with a rib injury, Miami didn’t slow down. Instead, Jaylen Wright exploded with a career-high 107 yards. Rookie Ollie Gordon II also added a rushing touchdown.
Miami’s run game looked unstoppable.
The offensive line created huge gaps, and each running back attacked with speed and confidence. With over 230 rushing yards, Miami controlled the tempo of the game beautifully.
Miami didn’t need risky passes because its rushing attack was doing the damage.
Miami’s Defense — The Real Game-Changer
Six Sacks and Total Pressure on the Jets
While the offense was scoring, Miami’s defense was shutting everything down.
The Jets’ quarterbacks were under pressure all afternoon.
- Six sacks
- Multiple interceptions
- Constant collapsing of the pocket
The Jets had less than 50 total yards in the entire first half. That shows how suffocating Miami’s defense was.
It felt like every time the Jets tried something, Miami was already there waiting.
New York Jets: A Day Full of Problems
Taylor’s Injury Made Everything Worse
The Jets’ problems started early.
Tyrod Taylor threw an interception on his fourth play and then left the game with a groin injury. Rookie Brady Cook stepped in, but facing Miami’s defense was like being thrown into deep water without learning how to swim.
The Jets did score a brilliant touchdown on a punt return by Isaiah Williams, but one highlight cannot save an entire game.
Their offense lacked rhythm, their defense struggled against Miami’s run, and nothing clicked consistently.
What This Win Means for the Dolphins
Miami Turns Its Season Around
With this victory, Miami improved to 6–7 and earned their fourth consecutive victory. After a tough start to the season, the team now looks confident, stable, and dangerous.
Miami’s depth at running back, strong offensive line, and aggressive defense show that they can compete with top teams if they continue this momentum.
This wasn’t just a win — it was a statement.
What the Jets Need to Learn
A Loss That Exposes Weak Points
The Jets need better depth, stronger protection for their quarterback, and a more stable offensive identity. Injuries happen in football, but teams must be prepared with solid backup plans.
This game revealed that the Jets are not ready to handle pressure from strong defensive teams.
