Heroes, zeros from Jets’ loss to Dolphins: Malik Willis had his way with Gang Green

Heroes, zeros and the full blitz from the Jets’ 28-25 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday:

Hero

Malik Willis was unbothered most of the afternoon, dissecting the Jets defense for 208 passing yards and two touchdowns, along with another 37 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

Zero

Garrett Wilson can’t throw the ball to himself, and he was nearly invisible. He was targeted just three times and finished with two receptions for 26 yards. So much for all that midweek talk about getting him the ball more often.

Unsung hero

Greg Dulcich celebrated National Tight Ends Day in style, catching five passes for 86 yards — all in the first half, as the Dolphins jumped out to a 21-7 lead. The 86 yards were one shy of his career high and his most since 2022.

Quote

“I’d like to think we’re heading in the right direction. 2-5, not a good spot, though.”
