EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- A week after their merciless butt-whooping at the hands of New England, the Jets returned to their old ways -- taking matters down to the wire with the ball in quarterback Mark Sanchez's hands.Much like on Monday, New York suffered a loss to a division rival, with Sanchez hitting the turf on fourth down with 47 seconds left to seal a 10-6 Dolphins win. The Jets struggled with Miami's defensive line as Cameron Wake and Kendall Langford terrorized Sanchez all day.
Instead of going for it on fourth and long, Rex Ryan elected to send Nick Folk out to hit a 43-yard field goal with 5:21 left that narrowed the defecit to 10-6. New York would then force a three-and-out, punt and stop Miami again moments later -- allowing Sanchez one more chance with just over two minutes remaining.
The Dolphins (7-6) improved to 6-1 on the road while the Jets (9-4) dropped their second straight game.
