The Miami Dolphins topped the New York Jets with a commanding 34-17 victory in Week 7 of the 2026 season. This win solidifies the Dolphins' position in the playoff race, while the Jets will need to regroup after a disappointing performance at home. Leading the charge for Miami was quarterback Cam Ward, who threw for 279 yards, showcasing his ability to stretch the field. Jahmyr Gibbs added a solid ground game with 55 rushing yards, while Rashee Rice emerged as a key target, racking up 93 receiving yards. The Dolphins' offensive balance proved too much for the Jets to handle. Defensively, Miami's Devon Witherspoon made a crucial impact with an interception, helping to halt any momentum the Jets attempted to build. The game's turning point came in the second half when the Dolphins' defense stiffened, forcing a turnover that led to a quick touchdown, extending their lead and putting the game out of reach for New York. Despite Nick Bosa's two sacks for the Jets, they couldn't capitalize on the pressure, allowing Miami to dictate the pace of the game.
