NFL game: Jets vs. Miami Dolphins

The Jets and the Miami Dolphins, after four days of off-and-on rain in the area of Hard Rock Stadium, saw a morning thunderstorm today and now are ready for a possibly dry but possibly very windy afternoon of AFC East rematch football in South Florida.

But will the "track team" portions of the rosters for the Jets (5-8) and 'Fins (9-4) be available? And will they be slowed by the sodden stadium grass or be wind-aided as they proceed toward the end zones?

This is a key question for Miami, which listed two of its "thinclads," top NFL wideout Tyreek Hill and fast rookie RB De'Von Achane, among its list of nine "questionable" players for this afternoon's game. Hill, vying to become the NFL's first 2,000-yards-in-a-season receiver, injured his ankle in Monday night's 28-27 home loss to Tennessee and didn't practice all week. Achane (toe) was limited in Friday's practice.

The Dolphins ended a disappointing first drive of the game with 5 plays for 25 yards.

On the Jets first drive of the game, the 'Fins' defense showed how badly they wanted to put pressure on the under-pressured Zach Wilson and forced a fumble on a crucial second down. The ball rolled towards the Jets endzone, and Dolphins' Zach Sieler was able to catch it and run towards the 1-yard line.

Tua then took over again with Waddle back in the lineup, but Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel opted to run the ball, and after two tries, Mostert rushed in for his first score of the game and 19th touchdown of the season, breaking Mark Clayton's single season franchise record.

Miami's defense held the Jets to just 103 total yards, the second-fewest yards allowed by the Dolphins in franchise history, and did not allow a rushing first down for the first time since Sept. 30, 2012 against Arizona.

Just six days removed from his early-first-quarter pick-six against Tennessee, defensive tackle Zack Sieler made another big play on the Jets opening drive to get things started for Miami. On first-and-10 from the Jets 24-yard line, linebacker Bradley Chubb and defensive tackle Christian Wilkins strip-sacked quarterback Zach Wilson and Sieler recovered the ball at the four-yard line before getting tackled at the one-yard line.

The Dolphins go 10-4 with this last victory and now face the Dallas Cowboys for their Christmas Eve game back here in Miami
