| (MySportsbook) - For the Miami Dolphins, it was a snippet of life as the New York Jets. For 30 minutes last weekend, Coach Tony Sparano and Co. were the talk of the NFL, staring down an unbeaten New Orleans Saints team en route to a 14-point lead at intermission. But, as the Jets' dive from 3-0 September to 1-3 October shows, reality can be awfully turbulent. The Dolphins were gashed for 302 yards and 36 points in the final two quarters, winding up with a 12-point loss that ended a two-game win streak, dr |

Favre's stated wish was to play in a familiar west-coast scheme in Minnesota, but with the Packers loathe to trade the legend to their arch NFC North rival, Favre was dealt in August to the New York Jets, in a deal that placed several obstacles in the way of New York in turn moving him to the Vikings. After one hot-and-cold season with the Jets, Favre announced his retirement again, and New York subsequently gave the quarterback his unconditional re |

The loss dropped the Raiders - who'd been coming off an upset of the Philadelphia Eagles - to a particularly ugly 2-5, good for third in an AFC West Division that's rapidly becoming the personal playpen of the surprisingly still-un |

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -The New York Jets found the replacement for Leon Washington in the man he replaced: Justin Miller. Miller will return kickoffs for the Jets on Sunday against Miami in his first game back with New York. Special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff says Miller looks good in practice and he's eager to see if the 2006 Pro Bowl selection can be the explosive returner he was in his first stint with the Jets. Miller suffered a serious knee injury in 2007 and was replaced by Washington as |

After Russell turned the ball over three times in the opening quarter of the Oakland Raiders' 38-0 loss to the New York Jets last Sunday, Russell said he didn't feel like he made any bad reads or decisions in the game. Russell addressed the media Thursday for the first time since then and says there were ``mistakes out there.'' Russell will keep his starting job Sunda |

McCarthy never fully explained what he meant, but did say earlier this year that Favre expressed a desire to play for the Vikings at the time. Favre instead was traded to the New York Jets, retired again after last season, then unretired again to sign with the Vikings. Favre said this week that it's ``probably best that things worked out the way they did,'' and McCarthy agreed. ``As far as his situation over there, and if he's happy |
