Final
Dolphins face Jets seeking first win
Dec 2, 2007 - 12:32 PM NY Jets (2-9) at Miami (0-11) 1:00 pm ESTMIAMI (Ticker) - If the Miami Dolphins are going to win a game in 2007, this might be their best chance.
The Dolphins host the New York Jets on Sunday in an AFC East battle of teams who have a combined record of 2-20.
After this week, Miami has home games remaining against Baltimore and Cincinnati and road contests at Buffalo and New England.
The Dolphins are coming off Monday's bizarre 3-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, a game contested in nearly unplayable conditions due to heavy rain.
The game was scoreless until Pittsburgh's Josh Reed kicked a 24-yard field goal with 17 seconds remaining.
The New York Giants and Detroit Lions played the NFL's last scoreless tie on November 11, 1943.
It was Miami's sixth loss of the season by three points or less, extending a franchise record.
The game marked the return of Dolphins running back Ricky Williams, who played in his first NFL game since January 1, 2006, due to a violation of the league's substance abuse policy.
But Williams left in the second quarter with a shoulder injury after being stepped on and did not return. His status for this week is uncertain.
After surprising the Pittsburgh Steelers in overtime two weeks ago, the Jets returned to their losing ways on Thanksgiving, when they were routed by the Dallas Cowboys, 34-3.
One of Miami's close losses was a 31-28 defeat to the Jets in Week Three. The score was deceptive, however, as New York built a 31-13 lead early in the fourth quarter.
Chad Pennington, since benched in favor of Kellen Clemens, tossed three touchdown passes for the Jets.
The Dolphins' start is the worst for an NFL team since the Lions opened 0-12 in 2001.
