MNF: Dolphins at Jets

Disregard the records whenever these AFC East foes get together because good, bad or mediocre, the Dolphins and Jets always seem to get fired up to face each other. “A lot times, they’re in the way of getting to the playoffs,” Dolphins linebacker Jelani Jenkins said. “It’s not really a hatred thing for me, but it’s definitely competition.” The Dolphins (6-5) are in the middle of the AFC playoff picture, hoping to make the postseason for the first time since 2008. First up is a Monday night showdown with the struggling Jets (2-9), who’d love nothing more than to put a crimp in Miami’s playoff plans (5:15 p.m., ESPN). – AP
