Jets turn to Tim Boyle with Dolphins coming to town

The Jets, who have lost their last three games, will start journeyman Tim Boyle at quarterback in their Black Friday game at East Rutherford, New Jersey, against the Dolphins.

The only reason New York (4-6) has any realistic hope of making the playoffs is because Aaron Rodgers is still adamant about playing despite suffering an Achilles injury in Week 1.

Naturally, this implies that the Jets must win games in the interim. Wilson was thus benched, and Boyle is now viewed as the team’s best opportunity to win games.

That’s intriguing territory given that Boyle, 29, has only made three NFL starts in his career, all of which came against the Detroit Lions in 2021 and resulted in losses.

Boyle has completed 120 NFL passes for four different teams, but only three touchdowns and nine interceptions. After starting in place of Wilson during Sunday’s 32–6 loss to the host Buffalo Bills, he was 7 of 14 for 33 yards and one interception.

Boyle is sure he will lead the New York offense audaciously despite the lack of action.

Boyle stated, “You gotta feel like you’re dangerous out there,” when he spoke to the media on Tuesday. “You can’t have any reservations before seeing a play or series. Therefore, I believe that confidence is essential, and I’m going in there with the mindset that I’m the guy and that I won’t let anything stop me.”

Wilson will wear the No. 3 signal caller jersey while Trevor Siemian serves as New York’s backup quarterback.

Given that the Jets have lost their last three games by a combined score of 75–24, it was only reasonable for head coach Robert Saleh to try something new. In terms of total offense (270.3 yards per game) and scoring offense (15.0 points per game), New York’s offense is ranked thirty-first.

Boyle is a quarterback that plays in a different style, according to Saleh. “It’s really to give him an opportunity to see if we can do something with the offense.”

Miami (7-3) has no offensive issues as it leads the NFL in both total offense (434.0 yards per game) and scoring (30.5 points per game).

Tua Tagovailoa, the quarterback, is ranked third in passing yards (2,934) and second in touchdown passes (21). Tyreek Hill, a wide receiver, is having an incredible season, setting league records with 1,222 receiving yards and nine touchdown receptions. Hill has 79 catches to rank second.

Tagovailoa doesn’t feel at ease, despite the Dolphins being a strong contender to make the playoffs for a second straight year.

Well, Tagovailoa remarked, “the work is not done.” “There’s nothing accomplished to being 7-3.”

Miami’s last four games have been split. Last weekend, the Dolphins faced numerous challenges before defeating the Las Vegas Raiders 20–13 at home.

With twenty-five seconds remaining, Miami cornerback Jalen Ramsey secured the victory with an interception in the end zone. He had selected it twice in the match.

On Tuesday, talented rookie running back De’Von Achane (knee) participated in limited practice. After missing four games, Achane made his comeback to play against Las Vegas, but he hurt the same knee in the first quarter.

Coach Mike McDaniel of Miami stated, “He was politicking to try to come back in the game, but I was a little worried… to go and do that.” We somewhat restrained him.”
