7. Joe Philbin coaching for his job
With three straight years without a winning season on his resume Joe Philbin needed a strong start for his Dolphins to start the season. Instead, he lost back-to-back games against the hapless Jacksonville Jaguars and then a home blowout to the division rival Buffalo Bills.
If Philbin can’t get a win against the Jets he’ll be 1-3 to start the season with the much harder games still on the schedule. Expect him to pull out all the stops to get a win on Sunday.
