Jets...40 Dolphins...13
MIAMI -- A shaky showing by rookie quarterback John Beck doomed the Miami Dolphins’ latest bid for a win.
Beck threw three passes for interceptions and lost two fumbles, and Miami fell to 0-12 by losing to the New York Jets, 40-13.
Beck’s turnovers led to a touchdown and three field goals. In three starts, he has yet to direct the offense to a touchdown.
Despite the Dolphins’ woeful record, they were favored by 1 1/2 points, and the game was touted as their best remaining chance to avoid the NFL’s first 0-16 season. Instead, the margin of defeat was their widest yet.
Miami extended a franchise-record losing streak to 15 games, and Cam Cameron remained winless as an NFL coach.
The Jets wore navy and gold throwback Titans uniforms and looked like a different team, winning by a lopsided score for the first time this season. They improved to 3-9, with two of those wins over Miami.
Quoteworthy: “We’re 0-12. It doesn’t get much lower.” -- Jason Taylor, Dolphins defensive end
