What happened: Miami beat the New York Jets 28-25 on Sunday, scoring on its opening drive, for its first win of the 2026 season and the first for head coach Jeff Hafley. Malik Willis started at quarterback. The team marked the win by wrapping its facility elevator doors with a photo from the game.

Why it matters: The win lifts Miami to 1-5 and drops the Jets to 2-5, their second straight loss. Zach Sieler's agent says he would be shocked if the defensive tackle is traded amid deadline rumors.

By the numbers: PFF offensive grades for Miami in Week 7: Greg Dulcich 87.9, Willis 77.3.

What to watch: Trade deadline decisions, including Sieler's situation, are the next thing to watch in Miami.
