Tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET the New York Jets (2-9) will host the Miami Dolphins (6-5) on Monday Night Football, which fans can find on ESPN or watch online free by clicking this link. Jets fans can catch the radio broadcast of the game on 98.7 ESPN New York, while Dolphins fans may do the same by turning their dials to 560 WQAM.
The Jets are playing out the string of a lost season with second-year quarterback Geno Smith back at the helm, in what is likely his last chance at proving he is a player the Jets should be interested in keeping. He was benched earlier this season for the second time in his career in favor of veteran Michael Vick, but was thrown back into the fire when Vick struggled vs. the Buffalo Bills last Monday.
Smith has thrown seven touchdown passes against 10 interceptions this season, including a nightmarish game against the Bills in Week 8 in which he threw three first quarter interceptions. That was the game that led to his benching. The Dolphins, however, are not looking past the Jets because of their dismal record.
"I don't think the records really matter right now," Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin said. "We have to go win a game against the New York Jets. That's really the only thing that is on my mind and should be on our players' minds at this point."
The Dolphins may find running the football difficult against a Jets defense that still ranks among the NFL's best against the run, so they might need another big game from Ryan Tannehill. In his last three games, all against formidable defenses, Tannehill has six touchdowns and only two interceptions.
