The Jets defense did a better job limiting explosive plays against the Dolphins, but still allowed a 65-yard touchdown to WR Mack Hollins. Hollins went untouched on the score that put Miami ahead, 14-7, and head coach Robert Saleh said the bust was a result of poor eye discipline. The Texans, however, have not been an explosive team through 10 games. Houston's offense ranks last in the NFL in plays of 10+ yards, rushes of 10+ yards, and completions of 20+ yards. It's also tied for No. 31 in plays 20+ yards.
"I think our communication was really good for the most part," C.J. Mosley said of the defense's performance against the Dolphins. "Obviously, in the run game, we did a pretty decent job. They had some runs on us where they set up some scheme, some scheme type runs in our coverages. I think just as far as the technique standpoint for the most part and the things that was asked for each individual guy at their position, I think we did a good job executing. When we all were on the same page, we were getting off the field.
"Obviously the explosive, we have to try to eliminate. And if they do get them, we have to try to not let the big plays turn into a touchdown. Make teams drive the field and try to force some field goals. We just have to build off of the good things that we did in this game and the things that we need to work on, continue to look at those and get better."
