イルカs look to continue resurgence vs. Jets
The much-改善するd Miami イルカs, coming off an impressive 43-17 勝利，勝つ over the San Francisco 49ers, must 保護する against a letdown when the winless New York Jets visit on Sunday.
The 大勝する in the Bay Area 改善するd Miami's 記録，記録的な／記録する to 2-3. Since starting the 2019 season 0-7, the イルカs are 7-7.
Coincidentally, the turnaround started with a 26-18 victory last November over ... the Jets.
New York (0-5) has been a mess this season, and that continued this week when general 経営者／支配人 Joe Douglas decided to 削減（する） running 支援する Le'Veon Bell, who made $27.5 million while playing just 17 games for the club.
Bell, who had been a three-time プロの／賛成の Bowl player with the Pittsburgh Steelers, 急ぐd for just 863 yards and a 3.3-yard 普通の／平均（する） with the Jets, but he was hardly New York's only problem.
Quarterback Sam Darnold, who 行方不明になるd last week's 30-10 home loss to the Arizona 枢機けい／主要なs 予定 to a shoulder 傷害, has been 支配するd out for the game at Miami.
"There's 苦痛 every now and then, but I'm feeling a lot better," Darnold said earlier this week. "It's getting better every day."
事前の to the 傷害, Darnold had seen his numbers regress. After going 7-6 last season with 19 TDs and 13 interceptions, Darnold is 0-4 this year with three TDs and four 選ぶs.
Joe Flacco, who led the Baltimore Ravens to a 最高の Bowl victory in the 2012 season, is 始める，決める to start his second 連続した game in place of Darnold.
Flacco, 35, is an 遂行するd 退役軍人, but he hasn't had a winning season since 2017. Since then, he is 6-12 as a starter with 19 touchdown passes and 11 interceptions for three teams.
一方／合間, イルカs starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick turns 38 next month, and he is playing as if he were a １０年間 younger.
Fitzpatrick has three 300-yard games this season, and he is 完全にするing 70.6 パーセント of his passes. He is 傾向がある to taking 解雇（する）s (40 last year and eight this season) and throwing interceptions (13 last yea r and five this season), but he also 緊急発進するs endlessly, often creating havoc on 弁護s.
Fitzpatrick is playing behind a rebuilt 不快な／攻撃 line. At 権利 取り組む, 新人 second-一連の会議、交渉／完成する 選ぶ Robert 追跡（する） made his first start against the 49ers, playing every 不快な／攻撃 snap.
"He showed himself 井戸／弁護士席," イルカs second-year coach Brian Flores said. "The moment wasn't too big for him."
新人 first-一連の会議、交渉／完成する 選ぶ Austin Jackson, who had been playing left 取り組む, is out 負傷させるd. Flores moved 権利 取り組む 足緒 Davis to the left 味方する to 取って代わる Jackson, creating the 開始 for 追跡（する）. Miami is also starting a 新人 at 権利 guard, fourth-一連の会議、交渉／完成する 選ぶ Solomon Kindley.
The big story for the イルカs' 弁護 is the play of 星／主役にする cornerback Xavien Howard, who has one interception in each of his past three games. Howard 株d the NFL lead with seven interceptions in 2018 but was 限られた／立憲的な to just five games last year 予定 to a 膝 傷害.
"That dude always seems to find a way to get the ball," イルカs cornerback Byron Jones said of Howard, who has 15 interceptions in his past 27 games. "It's 冷静な／正味の to be out there with one of the best."
Howard and Jones, who both made the プロの／賛成の Bowl in 2018, will look to shut 負かす／撃墜する a Jets passing game that has just wide receiver Jamison Crowder ーに関して／ーの点でs of reliable playmakers. In just three games this year, Crowder has 22 catches for 335 yards and two touchdowns.
Miami, 一方／合間, has three pass-catching playmakers: wide receivers DeVante Parker (team-high 26 catches for 329 yards) and Preston Williams (team-high 19.5-yard 普通の／平均（する） per 歓迎会) and tight end マイク Gesicki (18 catches, 15.6 普通の／平均（する）).
