Jets Lose to Dolphins on MNF

Rex Ryan and the Jets defense had absolutely no answer for Ronnie Brown, Ricky Williams, and the Dolphins wildcat on Monday night. Ronnie Brown scored from 2-yards out in the wildcat formation with 10 seconds left in the game to lift the Dolphins over the Jets 31-27.

The offense wasn’t the problem for the Jets. Mark Sanchez played well and Braylon Edwards played like he had been with the team for years. The defense, which has been the Jets strength, lost the game.

The Jets defense let Chad Henne, in his second career start, complete 20 of 26 passes for 241 yards and two touchdowns. The Dolphins were 9-14 on third downs. The Jets also let speedster Ted Ginn Jr. get behind the secondary for a 53-yard touchdown.

“We made him look like Dan Marino,” Calvin Pace said referring to Henne. “They did what they want, and they did it at will.”

Last week it was the offense that bit the bullet, this week it was the defense. The Jets are tied with New England for first in the AFC with a 3-2 record and host the Bills on Sunday.
