Jets at Dolphins Week 9: live updates and scores

The Miami Dolphins have kicked off their Week 9 contest against the New York Jets, looking to complete the season sweep of their AFC East rivals. The field at Hard Rock Stadium was the pre-game story following a downpour last night during the Duke-Miami college game at the site. The field passed the NFL’s pre-game inspection, so now that the action has begun, we will see if the grounds crew was able to get it back to a condition that can withstand another game.

Throughout the game, you will be able to keep up with all the action and the scores here in our live updates. If you want to join in with your fellow Dolphins fans in a live chat throughout the game, you can follow that link.

After a five yard gain from Gore, Osweiler was flushed from the pocket and threw the pass into the stands to bring up a Miami punt on a three-and-out.

Jets third possession. The Jets started the drive with a 28 yard gain as Darnold finessed the ball right over Alonso’s outstretched arms and dropped it into Chris Herndon.
