AI RECAPIn a tightly contested Week 12 matchup, the Miami Dolphins held off the New York Jets, securing a 25-20 victory. This win keeps the Dolphins firmly in the playoff hunt as the season heads into its final stretch, while the Jets are left searching for answers after a hard-fought battle.
Malik Willis led the Dolphins' offense with 178 passing yards, showcasing his ability to manage the game effectively. On the other side, Cade Klubnik shone for the Jets, throwing for two touchdowns, but it was not enough to overcome the Dolphins’ consistent play. Breece Hall provided a solid ground game for New York, racking up 77 rushing yards, and Adonai Mitchell contributed with 59 receiving yards, but the Jets struggled to find rhythm in key moments.
Defensively, the Dolphins were able to apply pressure, with Zach Sieler recording a sack that disrupted the Jets' momentum. The game's turning point came late in the fourth quarter when Miami's defense stifled a critical drive, allowing the Dolphins to maintain their lead. Despite Minkah Fitzpatrick's interception for the Jets, Miami's resilience on defense ultimately sealed the victory.
