Snapping the ball was a challenge Sunday for the New York Jets
Miami Dolphins Hoodie , and things didn't get any better after that.Center Spencer Long reinjured a finger and had half-dozen off-target shotgun hikes, which compounded problems for quarterback Sam Darnold. He threw four interceptions — including a pick-six after he snared a high snap — and the Jets never reached the end zone in a 13-6 loss to the Miami Dolphins."We need to be more consistent, myself included es

pecially," Long said. The injury on the middle finger of his right hand, which he dealt with earlier this season, finally forced him from the game.Darnold stayed in to take more rookie lumps for the Jets (3-6). His most costly mistake was a pass toward the sideline intended for tight end Eric Tomlinson. Linebacker Jerome Baker cut in front for his first career interception and scored the game's only touchdown untouched."I thought I'd be able to get it over him," Darnold said.As for the inconsistent snaps, he said: "It disrupts timing, but there's no excuse for how I played out there."Baker's score put Miami ahead 13-3 with 11 minutes left. Darnold threw two more interceptions in the final 2陆 minutes, both on fourth-and-long.Darnold finished 21 for 39 for 229 yards with four sacks and a passer rating of 31.8. That's the third time he has been below 40."I just have to be sharper

If No. 1 or 2 isn't there, I have to go to (No.) 3."Coach Todd Bowles said he's not thinking about replacing Darnold with veteran Josh McCown."Not right now, no," Bowles said.His critique of Darnold's performance: "There are plays he would like to have back."Interceptions aren't a new problem — Darnold came into the game tied for the NFL lead with 10 . And lack of scoring is a familiar issue, too — the Jets have 33 points in the past three games, all losses.Safety Jamal Adams called the latest defeat a 53-man effort but added, "It's the same, same, same stuff. It's frustrating. I'm not going to hold my tongue for anything anymore. Enough is enough. I'm not a loser."Despite a day of sputtering offense

"We just didn't make enough plays to win it."Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: ://Steve_WineReshad Jones out versus Raiders, DeVante Parker expected to start; inactive lists released Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones is officially inactive for Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders, missing the game due to a shoulder injury.

Miami Dolphins Hats , who has been battling a broken finger he sustained in training camp, is expected to make his season debut, starting opposite Kenny Stills.The Dolphins are expected to start rookie Minkah Fitzpatrick in Jones’ spot at safety. The first-round draft-pick had been playing as Miami’s nickel cornerback, so the team could be looking to slide someone else into that role, or keep Fitzpatrick also playing there, with Maurice Smith - who was promoted off the practice squad this week - or Walt Aikens coming in at safety in nickel packages. Miami could use Bobby McCain, who has been playing outside at cornerback this year, inside and replace him outside with Torry McTyer. Tankersley could also have been an option, but they team listed him as inactive for the game.
