Review of the Jets' 32-26 road loss to the Dolphins on Sunday:
offense
It was the offense's best game of the season, but it still wasn't enough.
The Jets gained 402 yards and seemed to have control until the third quarter.
I can give credit to the team for going 2-of-5 in the red zone and having two 3-and-outs in the fourth quarter, but overall it was a good game.
QB Aaron Rodgers (27-for-39, 339 yards, 1 TD, 104.5 rating) had his best game as a Jet.
He connected with WRs Davante Adams (9 catches, 109 yards, 1 TD) and Garrett Wilson (7, 114) and showed what the offense should be like.
Grade: B
defense
This unit continues to disappoint.
On Sunday, they didn't have a single quarterback hit, let alone a sack, against Tua Tagovailoa (33-of-47, 331 yards, 2 TDs, 104.1 rating).
They didn't force any turnovers and folded when the Jets needed a stop in the fourth quarter and overtime.
They gave up 375 total yards.
DJ Reed was called for a costly pass interference penalty, allowing the Dolphins to tie the game early in the fourth quarter.
Miami's WR Tyreek Hill (10 catches, 115 yards, 1 TD) and Jaylen Waddle (9 catches, 99 yards) ran for the Jets.
Grade: F
special teams
Kicker Anders Karlsson made a clutch field goal in the fourth quarter to give the Jets the lead, but he was unable to get the kickoff into the end zone, allowing the Dolphins to return the ball to midfield and set up the tying goal. I was able to do it. A field goal that forces overtime.
Karlsson made four field goals in the game, but missed kickoffs proved costly. \
The Jets couldn't do anything in the return game.
Grade: D
coaching
The Jets continue to find ways to lose, and that's a reflection on this coaching staff.
It may not be entirely fair, but the Jets seem to be missing something when it comes to ending close games.
Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich's team showed sloppy play in the final stages and suffered another disappointing loss.
Offensive play caller Todd Downing had a strong performance and opened people's minds.
Grade: D
