EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (Interstat) — Two AFC East rivals riding modest winning streaks will meet Sunday when the Miami Dolphins visit the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. Both teams enter the Week 14 contest with 5-7 records, having won their last two games. The Dolphins are coming off a 21-17 home victory over New Orleans, while the Jets edged Atlanta 27-24. Miami won the season’s first meeting, 27-21, at home on Sept. 29. In that game, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa passed for 257 yards and two touchdowns. He has been efficient during Miami’s two-game win streak, completing 74.4% of his passes without an interception. The Dolphins’ ground game, led by De’Von Achane’s 134-yard performance last week, provides balance. For the Jets, veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor has provided a spark, contributing both through the air and on the ground. In the win over Atlanta, Taylor passed for 172 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 44 yards. Running back Breece Hall remains a focal point of the offense, scoring a rushing touchdown in last week’s victory. Despite identical records, oddsmakers list the Jets as 2.5-point favorites at home, with an over/under set at 41.5 points. A statistical projection from National Statistical forecasts a 27-24 Jets victory. The game could hinge on which team’s recent momentum holds. Miami has shown resilience in close games, winning three of its last four by a combined 11 points. New York’s offense has found a rhythm with Taylor, averaging 24 points during its two-game streak after failing to surpass 14 in its two prior contests. Defensively, both units will aim to contain mobile quarterbacks. The Dolphins have won three straight in the series, but all have been decided by a single score. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. EST on Sunday, Dec. 7.
