In Week 7, the Miami Dolphins snapped their slump with a 24‑17 win over the New York Jets, delivering head coach Jeff Hafley his first victory. Malik Willis sparked the offense, but the surprise star was running back Ollie Gordon, who rushed for 103 yards and a touchdown, stepping up after De’Von Achane’s season‑ending ACL tear in Week 3. According to Reddit data, the Dolphins now rank second in the NFL for average rushing yards per game despite losing Achane. The win fuels optimism as Miami prepares for a showdown with the New England Patriots next week.
The Miami Dolphins snap their winless streak with a 28-25 victory over division rival New York Jets on Oct. 25, 2026. Quarterback Malik Willis earns the “Fins Up” honor, throwing two TD passes and rushing for a third, posting a season‑best 130.7 passer rating and zero turnovers. Despite the comeback, Miami’s defense – especially the secondary – earns “Fins Down” after allowing 287 passing yards, three TDs and 18 second‑half points, despite rookie safety Michael Taaffe’s interception. The win gives fans a rare Sunday smile, but defensive lapses remain a key concern.
The Miami Dolphins won their first game of the season, and their locker room celebration was a release of the losing frustrations.
The Miami Dolphins, plagued by mismanagement and a $167 million QB bust, entered their Week 1 matchup as the new NFL punchline—only to be out‑performed by the perennially losing New York Jets. The Jets, still winless in a decade and 5‑19 under coach Aaron Glenn, handed the Dolphins a humiliating defeat, underscoring that even the league’s “failure factory” can still out‑fail its rivals.

The New England Patriots cut punter Bryce Baringer, who joined as a 2023 sixth‑round pick and appeared in all 55 regular‑season and playoff games over three years. Baringer logged 247 punts with a 47.1‑yard gross average and a 40.6‑yard net before an undisclosed injury in the 2026 preseason sidelined him. After placing him on IR, the Patriots signed veteran Mitch Wishnowsky, who has already punted 22 times this season at a 47.1-yard gross and 41.2-yard net average. The move comes as the 4‑3 Patriots prepare to travel to Miami for a matchup against the 1‑5 Dolphins.
Week 7 gave New York Jets coach Aaron Glenn an opportunity to end one of the bleakest droughts in franchise history, and he unsurprisingly wasted it.

Mike Tomlin criticizes Jets head coach Aaron Glenn for the team's 107-6 deficit in the two minutes before halftime over his 24-game tenure, highlighted by a 28-25 loss to the winless Miami Dolphins on Oct. 25. Tomlin says the Jets should practice two‑minute drills daily, noting that Glenn’s four timeouts in the first half allowed a 15‑play, 91‑yard Dolphins drive. The defeat drops New York to 2‑5, Glenn to 5‑19 overall and 0‑8 in the AFC East, sparking calls for his dismissal. Tomlin’s blunt advice underscores the urgency to fix the Jets’ clock management before the season’s slump deepens.
The Miami Dolphins needed their offensive line to play well against the Jets, and they turned in what was needed to win their first game.
The Phinsider reviews the Miami Dolphins' most consequential trades of the past year as they rebuild. In November 2025, the team dealt edge rusher Jaelan Phillips to the Eagles for a 2026 third‑round pick used on blocking tight end Will Kacmarek, while Phillips secured a $120 million contract with the Panthers. In March 2026, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick moves to the Jets for a seventh‑round pick that became EDGE Max Llewellyn, and Fitzpatrick posts solid numbers for New York. Also in March, the Dolphins shipped wideout Jaylen Waddle and a fourth‑rounder to Denver for multiple high picks, later turning those into a trade package that brought CB Chris Johnson and several rookie depth players, while absorbing a $26.3 million dead‑cap hit. The recap weighs each deal’s financial impact and on‑field results to gauge whether the Dolphins’ aggressive roster shake‑up is paying off.
Rookie wideout Omar Cooper Jr. makes NFL history in just his second game, hauling in five catches for 115 yards and a touchdown despite the New York Jets’ 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Oct. 25, 2026. PFF notes he’s the first receiver in 40 years to record 100+ yards and a TD in each of his first two career games. After missing his debut with an ankle injury, Cooper Jr. joins an elite group that includes Stefon Diggs and Amari Cooper. If he maintains this pace, he could become a leading candidate for Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Well, it was a good ride. Eh, not really. For all intents and purposes, the New York Jets’ utterly abysmal 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins brought an end to the Aaron Glenn era in Florham Park. Barring a miracle, the question is now “when”, not “if”, the Jets will begin their search for the ...

TreVeyon Henderson shows promise but has been quiet in his sophomore season, playing just 13 of 54 snaps in the Patriots' 24-17 loss to the Chicago Bears. Coach Mike Vrabel says Henderson remains trusted, though injuries—including a recent high‑ankle sprain and an August ankle issue—and the rise of third‑back Corey Kiner have limited his usage. Since returning in Week 2, Henderson has logged 57 touches for 248 yards and one TD, projecting roughly 700 yards and three scores this year versus 1,132 yards and 10 TDs in 2025. Vrabel believes Henderson will see more action down the stretch, possibly as early as Week 8 against the Dolphins.
