The Dolphins and Jets expected to lock each other in a defensive struggle.
And then the game started and that idea went out the window.
The Dolphins have scored on both their first quarter possessions. they are doing things on offense they haven't done all year -- such as a 29 yard pass from Ronnie Brown to Anthony Fasano out of the Wildcat formation.
The Dolphins also set themselves up for a field goal after a 59-yard screen pass from Chad Henne to Ricky Williams.
The Jets, however, are in the fight. After Miami took a 7-0 lead, they tied it by driving for a 3-yard TD pass from Mark Sanchez to recently acquired Braylon Edwards. That drive was extended when the Jets faked a punt and gained a first down on the play.
Anyway, we are ready to start quarter No. 2. And the live blog continues in the comments section below. See you there.
Thomas Jones is doing well.

Posted by: Calphin | October 12, 2009 at 09:25 PM
Will Allen costs the Dolphins again. Up and down and up and down.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 12, 2009 at 09:25 PM
The NFL needs their new hero...Mark Sanchez.
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | October 12, 2009 at 09:26 PM
Are the jets the new patriots getting calls?
Posted by: Calphin | October 12, 2009 at 09:26 PM

Here we go with BS calls
Posted by: Standley23 | October 12, 2009 at 09:26 PM
I thought the Jets are supposed to be the better team. It looks like to me there staying alive by BS penalties and lucky ass plays
Posted by: Chase | October 12, 2009 at 09:26 PM
OUR Defense is a joke
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | October 12, 2009 at 09:26 PM

Gruden is ridiculous.
Posted by: Calphin | October 12, 2009 at 09:28 PM
I don't believe the Jets can run on the Dolphins consistently. If they win tonight, it will be because they are throwing their way to victory.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 12, 2009 at 09:28 PM
STOP THEM NOW
Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN | October 12, 2009 at 09:28 PM

Posted by: Chase | October 12, 2009 at 09:29 PM

Flags are for 3rd down.
Posted by: Akguy | October 12, 2009 at 09:29 PM
maybe now we can actually play the game without the refs throwing a freakin panty on the field
Posted by: Rudie007 | October 12, 2009 at 09:30 PM
Porter is not 100%
Posted by: Po White Trash | October 12, 2009 at 09:30 PM
Jets are not running well, we are giving them yards with penalties, come on Defense
Posted by: Eddy007 | October 12, 2009 at 09:30 PM

Posted by: mike d | October 12, 2009 at 09:30 PM
espn sucks. they are totally bias. if you watched the pregame it was all about the jets. even thier ugly wives were on.
Posted by: Pound | October 12, 2009 at 09:31 PM
Need more screen passes to Ricky or cobbs!
Posted by: Calphin | October 12, 2009 at 09:31 PM
Saying "Ginn time" is like celebrating a broken watch. It's accurate twice a day.
Where's the family?
