Matt Moore came off the bench to throw for 131 yards and a touchdown, and the Miami Dolphins dominated on defense and special teams en route to a convincing 30-9 rout of the rival New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.
Moore replaced Ryan Tannehill after the rookie first-round pick injured his left quadriceps on a sack by New York's Calvin Pace during the Dolphins' second drive and completed 11-of-19 passes without a turnover. He received plenty of support from a defense that sacked Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez four times and came up with two takeaways as Miami (4-3) registered its third straight win following a 1-3 start.
The Dolphins also got a touchdown from Olivier Vernon on a blocked punt in building a commanding 20-0 halftime lead, while Daniel Thomas had a rushing touchdown to help Miami avenge a 23-20 home overtime loss to the Jets in Week 3.
Sanchez finished 28-of-54 for 283 yards with one touchdown and one interception for New York (3-5), which fell into last place in the AFC East with its second division defeat in a row. Source: Sports Network Attached Thumbnails
