The Miami Dolphins visit the New York Jets in an NFL Week 7 regular-season matchup on Sunday, October 25, 2026, with kickoff set for 1:00 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ.
For fans looking for Dolphins vs Jets where to watch, this is a straightforward divisional AFC East game that arrives with very different recent results for the two teams. The Jets are 2-4 through six weeks, third in the AFC East and plus-4 in turnover margin. The Dolphins are last in the division, on a five-game losing streak and have been outscored 132 to 70.
What the matchup says about both teams
New York has been more balanced offensively. Through six weeks, the Jets are averaging 20.3 points per game, 290.7 total yards per game, 196.2 passing yards per game and 94.5 rushing yards per game. Miami, by contrast, is averaging 18.7 points per game and has struggled to generate consistent passing production.
The Dolphins' recent stretch has also been difficult on both sides of the ball. They are giving up 26.4 points per game and 153.6 passing yards per game, while New York's defense has been more disruptive, ranking 7th in points allowed per game with 17 sacks.
Key player to watch
Geno Smith is the headliner for the Jets entering Week 7. Through the first six weeks, he leads the team with 1,336 yards and 7 touchdowns, while completing 68.9 percent of his passes for a 101.8 team passer rating. He has also taken 4 sacks in 5 games, which adds another layer to a matchup that could hinge on how well New York protects the quarterback.
The Dolphins will need to find answers quickly if they want to stop the slide, but this meeting is also important because it comes inside the AFC East race. With both teams trying to improve their position, the timing, venue and divisional stakes make this one worth tracking from kickoff at 1:00 p.m. ET.
