The Miami Dolphins and NY Jets are playing on Monday night football and the game starts up on ESPN past 8:30 pm ET and streaming live from the WatchESPN website as the Jets take MNF the week after playing on Monday in Detroit and now they have a divisional matchup that could have some bearing on the playoff picture in the AFC for the Fins.
The Dolphins come into the game with plenty on the line, as the Bills won over the Browns and now they are trying to keep up in the AFC playoff race. The team has six wins on the season and they come in after a three point loss against the Denver Broncos and they will next play against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday next week. The team is ranked fourth in passing yards allowed per game and the Jets are a bit of a trap game, as they looked terrible last week against the Bills and now have another chance to get things right.
The Dolphins are currently third in the division for the moment and they have a loss against the Bills and a win later in the season, so both teams are hoping to finish out strong. The Dolphins saw Ryan Tannehill have a solid game last week and they are looking for him to continue developing and getting into the playoffs would be huge for his career and the team overall. The Dolphins have lost two of the past three games and last won against the Bills and now they are in the middle of a stretch of three games on the road in four weeks.
The team has the Ravens and then the Patriots on the road and the team ends the season with the Minnesota Vikings and NY Jets at home. The Jets come into the game after a terrible loss against the Bills and they will next play against the Vikings and they have been mostly terrible this season. The team won its first game and then lost eight straight before winning against the Steelers and now they are coming in after a loss to Buffalo, which followed a bye week and a postponement. The team ends the season with the Titans, Patriots and Miami Dolphins and they are eyeing next season already.
The Dolphins are still alive in the AFC and the Jets are an absolute mess and they likely will be firing Rex Ryan this offseason. The Jets have been a mess, but they can play spoiler down the stretch in the AFC playoff race and here is a chance to do it. The Jets won a game against the Steelers but came out totally flat against the Dolphins and now they will try and reverse that against Miami on Monday night and these two teams have played some classics in the past on MNF.
