well, there\u2019s a sense of impending doom that hangs in the air.<\/p>\n<p>The Jets, despite entering the day 3-10 and despite being a 10-point underdog to the Dolphins, were in position to win a <a

Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium against a playoff contender that took a five-game winning streak into the game.<\/p>\n<p>Alas, of course they didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Even after the Jets marched down the field with their first offensive possession looking like the Bill Walsh 49ers in diverse play-calling and personnel-deployment to take a 7-0 lead, the final result felt inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>Even after safety Ashtyn Davis picked off a Tua Tagovailoa pass deep in Miami territory just 13 seconds after Braxton Berrios had given the Jets the 7-0 lead \u2014 a turnover that led to an Eddy Pineiro field goal and a 10-0 lead \u2014 the sinister inevitable awaited.<\/p>\n<p>It all simply felt too good to be true.<\/p>\n<p>That 10-0 advantage was the Jets\u2019 largest lead this season, yet it all felt too good to be true.<\/p>\n<p>There were so many moments in their 31-24 loss to the Dolphins that teased the uninitiated into thinking this might be the Jets\u2019 day.<\/p>\n<figure

cornerback Brandin Echols that tied the game at 24-24 with 7:45 remaining in regulation and sent the Jets sideline into a frenzy.<\/p>\n<p>But that, of course, was followed by a soul-sucking 75-yard scoring drive by the Dolphins that ended in an 11-yard Tagovailoa scoring pass to DeVante Parker to give Miami its 31-24 lead with 3:37 remaining.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the Echols pick-six, the Dolphins gifted the Jets an opportunity in the fourth quarter when they botched a fake punt on a fourth-and-1.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>The Jets\u2019 offense promptly responded with a three-and-out.<\/p>\n<p>What made the Miami fake punt so preposterous was the fact that, had the Dolphins simply gone for it and run the ball, they would have gained the first down because they ran at will on the Jets\u2019 defense.<\/p>\n<p>Miami entered the game ranked 31st in the NFL in rushing offense with an average of 79.2 yards per game and stamped 183 on the Jets\u2019 defense like a tattoo on their collective derrieres.<\/p>\n<p>Dolphins running back Duke Johnson, who was called up to the game-day roster as a COVID-19 replacement and had all of 18
