Kickoff: 1 p.m., Metlife Stadium; East Rutherford, New Jersey

TV: CBS (Ch: 4 in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale and Ch: 12 in Palm Beach); RADIO: WQAM (560-AM), KISS (99.9-FM), WQBA (1140-AM, Spanish)

Coaches: Brian Flores 6-4 (11-15 in second season with Dolphins); Adam Gase 0-10 (7-19 in second season with Jets)

Series: The Jets hold a 55-54-1 advantage in the all-time series, but the Dolphins look for the season sweep after a 24-0 win in Week 6 at Hard Rock Stadium.

Line: Miami is a 7-point favorite, with an over-under of 44.5.

Injuries: Dolphins — Questionable: QB Tua Tagovailoa (left thumb), WR Jakeem Grant (hamstring), Out: RB Salvon Ahmed (shoulder), OL Solomon Kindley (foot); Jets — Questionable: LB Blake Cashman (hamstrings), OL Alex Lewis (not injury related), Doubtful: OL Chuma Edoga (ankle), OL George Fant (knee/ankle), Out: LB Patrick Onwuasor (hamstring)

Noteworthy: Dolphins rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is questionable to make his fifth career start due to a left thumb injury he sustained in practice this past week. If Tagovailoa is unable to play, Dolphins coach Brian Flores will turn to 16-year veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick. ...

Flores decided to bench Tagovailoa for Fitzpatrick in the fourth quarter of Miami’s loss last week in Denver, which saw Fitzpatrick nearly lead a game-tying touchdown drive late. Tagovailoa struggled to move the ball offensively against the Broncos defense, and could face a tough test against the Jets defense if he plays. …

Jets quarterback Sam Darnold hopes to lead his team to their elusive first win of the season. Darnold returns to the starting lineup after a shoulder injury has kept him out of four games this season. …

The Jets, led by former Dolphins coach Adam Gase, are in line for the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL draft following their 0-10 start this season. …

The Dolphins enter the game winners of five of their past six after their win streak ended in Denver. Miami is second in the AFC East behind the Buffalo Bills, and in the playoff hunt with four other AFC teams for a wild-card spot.
