After dropping their last two games heading into their week 7 bye, the New York Jets looked to turn the tables and pick up their play when they hosted the Miami Dolphins in this week 8 matchup.

Coach Crim and his Jets have had to rely on their pass game to ignite a spark for their offense lately, with an aging duo of Chris Johnson and Chris Ivory looking to show that they deserved their most recent extensions.

This duo provided a punch on offense this week, totaling only 32 yards on the ground combined, but a pair of touchdowns as well. Third String back and former New York Giant, David Wilson, carried the ball 7 times for 41 yards as he looks to close in on acquiring the Jets' starting role.

Quarterback Geno Smith played what was his best game of the season thus far, racking up 239 yards through the air with 2 touchdowns and zero mistakes made. 

Newly acquired receiver Doug Baldwin has fit in well in Crim's offense in his first-year as a Jet. The now 27-year-old has become New York's deep threat and showed it this week, catching 3 passes for 67 yards and a single-touchdown. 

This past week may just have been a cake-walk against a win-less team, but the Jets have now propelled themselves back atop the AFC East and have no intentions of losing said spot.
