Dolphins vs Jets MNF Preview: Must-Win in Miami | Keys, Adjustments & Score Picks

It’s a must-win Monday night at Hard Rock Stadium as Miami hosts New York. We break down what has to change: play black-and-white football, commit to the north-south run game, keep it clean (no gifts, no flags), and finally get pressure without leaving the secondary on islands. We also talk momentum from the Buffalo fight, what a “clean four quarters” looks like, and how this MNF result sets up a winnable stretch.
