Are the Phins fried or can they ground the Jets on "Monday Night Football?"
Both the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets are searching for their first win in Week 4, and it's anyone's guess who will walk out of MetLife Stadium with a victory. (Follow Broncos vs. Bengals live updates.)
The Jets are returning Justin Fields from a concussion, but their biggest issues may not be on the offensive side of the ball. New York has failed to generate a pass rush in 2025, but their secondary issues have been somewhat new.
Offenses have had their way with the Jets through the air, even if the ranks have them middle of the pack when it comes to yards and touchdowns allowed.

That means that Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill and the rest of the Dolphins offense may be licking their chops when they step off the plane. Although the Dolphins have sputtered to start the season, the matchup of their wide receivers vs. the Jets secondary may be the tipping point in the Monday night matchup.
USA TODAY Sports will provide updates, highlights and more for the matchup below.

New York Jets vs. Miami Dolphins prediction
Even with their seeming offensive struggles this year, the tandem of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle should cause fits for the Jets' secondary, which has been among the league's worst this year. The loss to the Buffalo Bills on "Thursday Night Football" in Week 3 showed that the Dolphins players are still playing hard for head coach Mike McDaniel, who's seemingly on the hot seat. The Jets looked largely bad against the Buccaneers in Week 3 before showing signs of life in the fourth quarter, ultimately losing on a walk-off kick.
Still, the story of the game will be the Dolphins offense vs. the Jets defense, and it will simply be too much for a Gang Green unit still trying to find its footing.
Prediction: Dolphins 24, Jets 21
