Loser: Joe Philbin and the miserable Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins are now 1-3 after a messy loss to the New York Jets in London, 27-14. This could very well mean that head coach Joe Philbin’s job is on the line after another miserable turnout.
The Jets were able to gain 425 yards on offense and the Dolphins couldn’t do anything to stop running back Chris Ivory from piling up a career-high 166 yards at Wembley Stadium. Dolphins tackle Ndamukong Suh only made three tackles and the first one didn’t come until the third quarter.
Between Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brandon Marshall and Ivory, the Dolphins defense was nearly neutralized. The Dolphins failed to make big plays offensively, went 0-for-12 on third downs and 0-for-4 on fourth downs.
At the end of the game, quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed only 19 passes for 198 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, and he was sacked three times. The Dolphins’ ground game was a disaster, only managing 59 yards.
Philbin could receive an unpleasant phone call Monday morning while a grumpy Suh sulks off another loss.
