When the NY Jets and Miami Dolphins circled their first meeting of the 2024 season on their respective calendars this summer, both teams probably anticipated higher stakes than the underwhelming matchup they find themselves in this week.
The Jets are one loss away from mathematical postseason elimination and are staring at a potential top-five pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. At 5-7, the Dolphins haven't fared much better, and are in desperate need of a win to keep their season alive.

Still, the Dolphins are still competing for a playoff spot. The Jets have an opportunity to play spoiler and snap another losing streak in the process.
Will the Jets win just their second game since Week 3 or will the Dolphins inch closer to .500 and keep their playoff hopes alive? Here are the announcers and referees for today's Jets-Dolphins game.
