won the game 27-24<\/a>.<\/p>\nThere was no getting away from this, as Miami\u2019s lead back, De\u2019Von Achane, gashed the Jets for 92 yards and a TD on just seven carries before he left the game in the first half with a rib injury.<\/p>\n
Achane\u2019s backup, Jaylen Wright, rushed for 107 yards and a TD on 24 carries. <\/p>\n

And Ollie Gordon II added 17 yards and a TD on five carries.<\/p>\n
The Jets, according to ESPN Stats, had 10 missed tackles in the game, an inordinate number.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, the missed tackles did lead to some explosives,\u201d Jets linebacker Jamien Sherwood said. \u201cWhat we displayed today was not anything we\u2019re coached to do or what we want to do as a team. We\u2019ve just got to be better.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jets edge rusher Jermaine Johnson lamented the \u201cfirst 15\u201d Miami plays on offense, saying, \u201cThey scripted a good first 15.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked about the tackling performance, Johnson said, \u201cNot good.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just didn\u2019t play our level of ball,\u201d he went on. \u201cWe knew that team thrives on starting fast. We knew the formula in this game, and we just did not get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Jets kept their streak with no interceptions going, now at 13 games, though they had some chances against Miami QB Tua Tagovailoa.<\/p>\n
Rookie S Malachi Moore dropped one in the second quarter, as did CB Isaiah Oliver.<\/p>\n
Tagovailoa entered the game with 14 INTs, tied for the most in the NFL. <\/p>\n
He also entered having thrown the fourth-most INTs since he came into the league in 2020 with 58. <\/p>\n
And yet, the Jets still could not end their dubious streak.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the defensive side, we had a chance to make some plays on the ball, and we dropped the ball,\u201d Glenn said. \u201cThe receivers have got to catch it. The DBs have got to catch it. We\u2019ve got to make our plays when they come to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Jets\u2019 special teams continue to be the only unit they can count on.<\/p>\n
Not only did they get a 78-yard punt return for a TD from Isaiah Williams, but they converted a fake punt late in the third quarter.<\/p>\n

It was the Jets\u2019 league-leading fourth special teams TD of the season.<\/p>\n
Down 24-7 and facing a fourth-and-8 from their own 25, Moore took a short snap and pitched it to RB Isaiah Davis, who ran for 19 yards and the first down.<\/p>\n
The fake eventually led to a 31-yard Nick Folk field goal.<\/p>\n
The Jets injuries other than QB Tyrod Taylor, who left the game after six plays with a groin injury, were DL Tyler Baron (knee), LB Kiko Mauigoa (shoulder), TE Stone Smartt (possible concussion) and TE Mason Taylor (stinger).<\/p>\n
