In a hard-fought battle on the gridiron, the Miami Dolphins topped the New York Jets 31-23 in Week 3 of the 2029 season. Both teams were looking to gain momentum early in the season, but it was the Dolphins who ultimately secured the victory and improved their standing in the league. Miami's offense was powered by Floyd Widmer, who rushed for an impressive 104 yards, consistently finding openings in the Jets' defense. New York’s Arch Manning had a standout performance, throwing for 290 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing his talent and keeping the Jets competitive throughout the matchup. Garrett Wilson also had a notable game, racking up 124 receiving yards, but it wasn't enough to pull off the win. Defensively, the Jets struggled to contain Miami's offensive attack, with Taylor Wein managing only half a sack to highlight a lackluster pass rush. Isaiah McDuffie led the team with 10 total tackles, but the Dolphins' ability to sustain drives proved crucial, particularly in the second half when they scored two pivotal touchdowns. The turning point came late in the game when Miami's defense held strong, forcing the Jets to settle for field goals instead of touchdowns, sealing the victory for the Dolphins.
