New York Jets @ Miami Dolphins
1 2 3 4 FINAL
NEW YORK 6 0 9 0 15
MIAMI 14 3 21 7 45
MIAMI – Two Jimmy Garoppolo red zone interceptions doomed what was a competitive game in the first half as the Miami Dolphins (7-1, 2-1 AFC East) ran away from the New York Jets (3-6, 0-2) 45-15.
Jacoby Brissett started the scoring for his squad with an 81-yard TD pass to Clive Walford on the first play from scrimmage.
The rookie passer bounced back from his ghastly performance two weeks ago with 156 yards passing and the one score.
"It was just great to get back out there and play some football," Brissett said. "They are a tough unit over there and it could have been a much different game if they had scored on those two red zone possessions."
Garoppolo, facing his former Dolphins teammates, set many Jets passing records, completing 48-of-70 passes for 491 yards and two touchdowns.
"Meaningless," Garoppolo said. "The stats mean nothing without the win."
The Jets dominated in most statistical categories except turnovers and score.
Tight end Coby Fleener finished with a PPR lovers dream day with 18 catches for 206 yards.
Linebacker Bobby Wagner who was tasked most of the day with covering the hot Fleener, finished with a game-high 18 tackles.
"That was the gameplan," Wagner said. "We didn't want to get beat deep and were willing to give up underneath all game."
The Jets next head home to face the LA Rams.
Miami will take the cross country trip to square off against the San Diego Chargers.

Buffalo Bills @ Seattle Seahawks
1 2 3 4 FINAL
BUFFALO 3 13 7 7 30
SEATTLE 7 9 0 0 16
SEATTLE – The Buffalo Bills (8-1) traveled to a raucous Century Link Stadium in Seattle, Washington and took out the home Seahawks 30-16.
At the end of the third quarter, with the Bills hanging on to a 7-point lead and Seattle poised to score, Luke Kuechly caused a fumble by Tre Mason with a vicious hit at the goalline. Clay Matthews scooped up the loose ball and scampered towards midfield before Todd Gurley and company scored five plays later to salt the game away.
"It was a great call by our coaches," Kuechly said. "I was just fortunate enough to be able to make that play."
Offensively, the Seahawks managed three field goals on the day and amassed a total of zero rushing yards. Not a typo: 0.
"The better team won today, certainly," Russell Wilson said. "We need to help our offensive line with some better run plays early to get them going."
Aaron Rodgers carved up JV version of the Legion of Boom with a 20-25, 265 yard performance, including a 72-yard bomb to steadily improving Amari Cooper.
"We're really hitting a nice stride," Rodgers said. "I wish I could have back that pick six, but our defense was absolutely unstoppable today."
The surging Bills head into their Week #10 Bye as the NFL's #1 team.
