For the Dolphins, it was a day of heroes and zeros as they dominated their AFC East rivals, the Jets, with a crushing 34-10 victory.
The highlight of the game for Miami came in the form of running back De'Von Achane, who burst onto the scene with an impressive display of speed and agility. The rookie phenom set the tone early on, rushing for 92 yards and a touchdown on just seven carries in the first half before being forced to exit the game due to a rib injury.
Achane's impressive debut aside, it was clear that Miami had the upper hand from the outset, with their running game proving too much for the Jets' defense to handle. The Dolphins produced 239 yards and three touchdowns on just 41 carries, a significant haul that left New York reeling.
However, not everyone shone brightly for the home team. In fact, for many of Jets players, Sunday was more like a day in the zeros column. The Jets offense struggled to get going, managing a whopping zero first downs in the first half before things finally clicked into place.
Coach Aaron Glenn was left to pick up the pieces and try to explain the disappointing performance of his team, acknowledging that "This is on me... It's really hard to try to put this in words." As for how he plans to turn things around, only time will tell.
