When it comes to playing teams with sub-.500 records, the Miami Dolphins might be the best team in the NFL as they put up another dominant performance against the New York Jets.

The Dolphins led wire-to-wire against the Jets to improve to 10-4 and reinforce their position at the top of the AFC East.

Miami was without Tyreek Hill who is dealing with an ankle sprain, but the team didn’t look any worse for wear as Tua Tagovailoa and company continued to manufacture points almost at will.

Jaylen Waddle assumed the No. 1 wideout duties with Hill out and led all players with 142 scrimmage yards and one touchdown.

Raheem Mostert didn’t have the most efficient day rushing the football, but he hit pay dirt twice to help Miami run away with the win.

With the Dolphins rolling in Week 15, fans couldn’t help but be impressed via NFL.

It’s not often a team is shut out, but Miami’s defense has been playing like one of the best units as of late and they were just too much for Trevor Siemian and Zach Wilson.

There are still questions about how the Dolphins will fare in the playoffs against better competition, but at least they’re able to take care of business against inferior competition.

More encouraging is that they were able to keep the offense humming without Hill who has been the team’s engine on that end throughout the year.

All in all, it’s a solid win for Miami who looks like a real threat come playoff time.

Aaron Rodgers doesn’t look happy as Jets get destroyed by Dolphins to end playoff chances

The injured Jets quarterback, who had hoped to return to action this season if the team was still alive for a playoff berth, was seen on the CBS broadcast shaking his head in disgust during Sunday’s blowout loss to the Dolphins, which dropped the team to 5-9 and officially eliminated the Jets from playoffs contention.

Rodgers, on the sideline, wearing a headset so he could hear the offensive play calls, looked fed up with the results on Sunday, as the Jets fell behind 24-0 in the first half against an injury-decimated Dolphins team that was without wide receiver Tyreek Hill, among others.

It’s the latest bit of ugliness in a season full of them for a Jets team that entered the season with huge expectations, thanks to Rodgers’ arrival from Green Bay.

But those hopes were dashed just four plays into the season when Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles.

Rodgers rehabbed from the injury and teased a potential return, perhaps next week against Washington on Christmas Eve.

That seems unrealistic now, thanks to Sunday’s lopsided defeat, coupled with the continued shoddy play from the team’s injury-riddled offensive line and the playoffs officially out of reach.

The scene in Miami was a far cry from where Rodgers, now 40, and the Jets thought they would be after the trade that brought the quarterback to the Meadowlands.

“I’m an old guy so I want to be part of a team that can win it all,” Rodgers said at his introductory press conference in Florham Park in April. “I believe this is a place we can get that done.”

Instead, Rodgers and the Jets look to be headed towards an offseason of uncertainty.
