Part 6/10:
Linebackers often took the path of least resistance, going under blocks instead of fighting through them. This allowed the Dolphins’ receivers to find open spaces, particularly over the middle, where tight ends repeatedly beat the Jets' coverage. The defense seemed lost and overwhelmed, with their inability to stop the run and cover effectively stretching their confidence thin.
Tommy, one commentator, emphasized that Miami’s offensive line and running backs made the Jets look second-rate by executing their game plan flawlessly, both schematically and physically. The simple, yet effective use of motion and misdirection caused further confusion among the Jets' defenders.
