TV cameras caught Alosi tripping Dolphins player Nolan Carroll as he was returning a kick down the sidelines. Jets Strength Coach Sal Alosi was at the center of one of the rivalry’s ugliest moments. The Jets won on the strength of K Raul Allegre’s two late kicks, one of them an OT game winner. They met again in the season finale in 1991 with a playoff berth on the line for the winner. They came up short losing 44-30 even with Marino’s yardage. The Dolphins were down, mainly because of Marino’s 5 INT, but managed to show some life. In 1988 Marino was one of few QB’s to throw for 500 yards. Marino effortlessly threw for 4 scores while staying under 300 passing yards. Miami would get revenge later that year, blowing out the Jets 45-3. O’Brien threw 4 TD’s, all to Wesley Walker, and Marino threw an amazing 6 TD’s in the losing effort. The first game was an offensive explosion with the Jets winning 51-45, still the highest scoring game between the two teams. Two of which came in the same season, 1986. DOLPHINS Memorable Gamesīeyond the lone playoff game played by the Jets and Dolphins, there was plenty of regular season games with plenty of electricity. The 1978 season saw a game between the two teams on December 20th with no announcers. Heading into the 2000’s, both teams never found consistent play at the position, despite having success. Dan Marino took over in the early 80’s, as the Jets had Ken O’Brien. This ignited the rivalry that saw the Jets jump ahead pretty fast, cemented by their Super Bowl win in the ’68-’69 season.īut Miami reeled off two Super Bowls in the early 70’s, with one of those seasons being the lone perfect year in NFL history. The Jets came into the NFL in 1961, followed by the Dolphins in 1966. Six of the last ten seasons, the two teams split their matchups. One trend bettors can look at with these two teams, the likelihood of a season split. However, they are in year one of a tank as of 2019, which should give bettors every indication to fade Miami moving forward. The Dolphins did move ahead of the Jets this decade, making it an easier bet. The Jets won 13 of 20 between 2000-2010, but the Dolphins won 10 of their last 20. Looking at head to head matchups, the first part of the 2000’s leaned towards the Jets, with their playoff runs, while recently it’s switched back to Miami. The Jets barely hold the ATS 54-51-1 but have lost the last three against Miami. Both of these teams regularly competed for the division crown before the Patriots drafted Tom Brady.īetting on the Dolphins and Jets hasn’t been an easy task, mainly because of how consistently good both teams were for so long. Joe Namath then Dan Marino helped fuel the success of both teams, and of course that monster Dolphins team in the early 70’s that won two Super Bowls. The Jets and Dolphins share a rich history of two AFC East foes dating back to the 60’s.
