Dolphins vs Jets MNF Preview: Must-Win in Miami | Keys, Adjustments & Score Picks

It’s a must-win Monday night at Hard Rock Stadium as Miami hosts New York. We break down what has to change: play black-and-white football, commit to the north-south run game, keep it clean (no gifts, no flags), and finally get pressure without leaving the secondary on islands. We also talk momentum from the Buffalo fight, what a “clean four quarters” looks like, and how this MNF result sets up a winnable stretch.Topics & Timestamps0:00 Cold open + the “grab the plank” metaphor1:05 Why this is a true must-win3:10 Buffalo takeaways: one play from flipping it5:45 Defense: pressure rate vs. blitz rate problem8:20 Offense: cut the cute stuff—run it between the tackles11:00 Tua’s mandate: a clean, turnover-free game13:30 Special teams & penalty discipline = hidden points16:20 OL shuffles and handling a strong Jets front18:45 The next 5 games and a path back to .50021:30 Uniform juju + final score predictionsScore Predictions• 17–10 Miami• 23–20 Miami (late game-winner)Drop your score in the comments and tell us your one key to a Dolphins win.
