The Miami Dolphins were defeated, 40-17, on Sunday by the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.
Mike McDaniel’s team was already entering the game without key players Tua Tagovailoa, Xavien Howard and Byron Jones, but they also lost Teddy Bridgewater and Terron Armstead in the first quarter.
The injuries and penalties throughout the contest were too much for Miami to overcome, as they drop down to 3-2 and third place in the AFC East with the Jets having the head-to-head tiebreaker over them and the Bills improving to 4-1.
Here’s how Dolphins fans reacted throughout the battle.

Teddy got paid too much and armstead is a bust

We knew what we were getting in Armstead. Great player who can’t stay on the field.

Defense is dominating but they cant stop grabbing face mask. I just dont love how this game is going

79 yards on the first play as no one covers Breece Hall. End of a rough first quarter.

But the 10 days were meant to get everyone healthy… we are more injured leaving week 5
Fins are in trouble until they get healthy

Really shows how much we need Tua back but at the same time makes me nervous this offensive line can protect Tua when he’s back.

O-line sucked and the defence was poor today.
Yes, we had injuries. But we should not be getting blown out like that by the Jets.
Onto the Vikings we go.
