Key Performances on the Field

Special Teams and Discipline


Greg Joseph was perfect in his duties as kicker for the Jets; he successfully converted all three extra-point attempts and nailed a field goal from twenty yards out. The special teams unit managed an average kickoff return yardage of twenty but excelled in limiting Miami's return game.


Penalties could have been problematic for both teams; however, they were relatively disciplined throughout this encounter. The Jets incurred six penalties costing them thirty-five yards but managed not to let these setbacks derail their momentum or significantly impact their gameplay strategy.
