Dolphins-Jets in Miami Gardens turned into a humid grinder with a fireworks finish. The Fins rode a third-quarter surge and closed the door late to beat the Jets 27–21 at Hard Rock, cashing their first W of 2025 and easing some early-season heat in South Beach. Scoreboard says it all, but the vibes said momentum — Miami stacked a 14-spot out of halftime and never gave back the lead. (espn.com)
Here’s the headline: welcome back, Darren Waller. In his first NFL game since 2023 — unretiring after a July trade to Miami — the big man stomped the red zone with 2 TDs on just three grabs, the exact spark this offense ordered. That’s not just production; that’s punctuation. And when the Jets tried the late onside? Waller smothered that too. Night of the new No. 12 in teal, folks. (nfl.com)
The rest of the O cooked just enough. Tua Tagovailoa stayed cool and clean (17/25, 177 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT), while De’Von Achane kept the Jets guessing with 20 carries for 99 yards and a score plus chunk runs to set up a dagger field goal. Meanwhile, New York’s dual-threat gamble was dangerous: Justin Fields went 20/27 for 226 yards and a TD, added 81 rushing yards and a fourth-and-1, 43-yard house call, then hit Garrett Wilson (6/82) for a late 23-yard TD before muscling in the two-pointer to make it a one-score game. Miami bent but never busted. (espn.com)
Big Dill of the Game: Darren Waller — 2 TDs, game-sealing onside recovery. From retirement to prime time difference-maker in one South Florida night. I’m Dillon “Big Dill” Smith, and that’s your slice from Big Dill Sports — where ballin’ is a big dill.
