Dolphins secure first win, prepare for challenging Patriots matchup

Summary

The Miami Dolphins ended their winless start to the season with a 28-25 victory over the New York Jets on October 25, 2026. Quarterback Malik Willis contributed significantly, throwing two touchdown passes and rushing for another score, while running back Ollie Gordon II racked up 103 yards on the ground. This win sets the stage for a crucial AFC East matchup against the New England Patriots, who recently suffered a 30-24 loss to the Chicago Bears. The Patriots will face a rejuvenated Dolphins team that has gained momentum, though Miami still has areas to improve ahead of the next game.
