It was a shaky first half for the Jets in their 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, but in the second-half adjustments helped the Green & White to a rally that fell just short.<\/p>\n

Here are 3 takeaways from the Week 7 game.<\/p>\n

‘Almost Better Than Not Close’
The Jets allowed 21-first-half points, including a touchdown at the end of the half after the Dolphins ran a 15-play, 91-yard drive that took nearly 9 minutes.<\/p>\n

“We certainly want to be better in the red zone because I think in all of those situations, we had a chance to stop them in the red zone and we didn’t,” LB Demario Davis<\/a> said. “If you’re able to hold them to three points in those situations, it makes a big difference.”<\/p>\n

But in the second half the Jets forced the Dolphins to punt three times, which helped the offense claw back as the Green & White scored 18 second-half points.<\/p>\n

“The way we responded in the second half reflects the character of this team and what we’re building,” Davis said. “Certainly, you don’t want to be in a situation where you keep coming up with an almost situation but almost is better than not close at all.”<\/p>\n

Davis understands the frustration from fans but does not believe the team is going in the “wrong direction.”<\/p>\n

“When you’re building, you have to have an understanding of what it means to lay a foundation,” Davis said. “And I think when you watch our team \u2026 despite our record you see the way guys are fighting and that means something.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was a shaky first half for the Jets in their 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":438391,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[150288,114,77209,123,125,124,115],"class_list":["post-438390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-braelon-allen","tag-latest-headlines","tag-mason-taylor","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=438390"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438390\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/438391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=438390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=438390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=438390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
