NFL Power Rankings Week 18 2022, Miami Dolphins VS New York Jets

Miami Dolphins Form

A 23-21 defeat to the New England Patriots last time out extended the Miami Dolphins’ losing streak to five games, leaving the hosts 5-5 across their past 10 outings.

The Miami Dolphins boast one of the league’s most improved offensive lines, going from 20.1 points per game last season to 24.1 points to rank tenth this year. The defense, however, has lagged behind compared to most of the league’s defensive lines, allowing 24.6 points per game this year,.

This year, the Miami Dolphins had been tipped to go far into the playoffs. However, 16 matches into the current regular season, the hosts are only 8-8 and won’t be around when January football gets underway unless, of course, they can turn things around quickly.

New York Jets Form

A 23-6 defeat last week against Seattle Seahawks extended the losing streak of the New York Jets to five matches. It also brought their overall record for the past 10 games to 3-7.

The offense has struggled to click into gear across the last three matches, with the New York Jets putting just 18.1 points on board. However, while the offense has struggled to click into gear, the defense has had no such issues. The visitors have kept their opponents to an average of just 19.1 points per match, ranking as the league’s fourth-best defense.

The New York Jets will not be making the playoffs this season. While they were expected to struggle, being winless at 7-9 means there is little hope left for them this year. The best they can do now is focus on getting a strong pick in next year’s draft order.
