What happened: New York and Miami renew their long-running AFC East rivalry with a retrospective look at their past meetings. Both clubs enter the 2026 regular-season matchup looking to halt active losing streaks.

Why it matters: The Dolphins return from their bye week amid contract and trade evaluations while holding the No. 15 seed in the conference. New York sits four spots higher at No. 11 as it looks to gain ground in the division.

By the numbers: New York stands at 2-4 (L1) after a 26-19 road loss on Oct. 18, while Miami is 0-5 (L5) following a 31-24 defeat on Oct. 11.

What to watch: The matchup in New Jersey will test whether Miami can secure its first victory of 2026 before upcoming roster decisions.
