The Miami Dolphins and New York Jets were tied early in the second quarter of their Week 11 matchup with a 7-7 score when Joe Flacco led his team into the red zone.
Miami’s defense was able to prevent a go-ahead touchdown by doing exactly what they’ve had success with recently. Safety Brandon Jones came screaming untouched off the left side and nailed Flacco from his blindside. The ball popped loose and fell into the hands of defensive tackle Christian Wilkins who tried to return it but was brought down.
The fumble gave the Dolphins a chance to take the lead, but they failed to get anything going on their next drive.

Miami has been at their best when they bring an extra rusher from the secondary, so this will probably be something they keep up.
