Before September drew to a close, fans were dealt another disappointing loss to end the month. Despite the return of quarterback Justin Fields, the New York Jets<\/a> couldn’t keep up with the Miami Dolphins<\/a>. Between three costly fumbles along with 13 penalties for 101 yards impaired the Jets chances. Even though New York scored 18 points in the second half, the Dolphins held on to win 27-21. It was a nearly perfect night for the Miami offense, taking advantage of New York’s lack of pass rush. It was more problematic after veteran wide receiver Tyreek Hill<\/a> was injured for Miami. Alas, one Jet enjoyed a special homecoming. Jets rookie Mason Taylor<\/a> had a career night in the same stadium his father and uncle spent over a decade playing in.<\/p>\n

In April, New York drafted Miami native Mason Taylor<\/a> out of LSU. The tight end had a career night in a place he knows well. While having two Pro Football Hall of Famers in the family, the Jets hope the rookie tight end can share in the family’s success.<\/p>\n

What a cool moment for Mason Taylor, who poses with family members before his first game at Hard Rock Stadium. Hall of Famer Zach Thomas, Mason\u2019s uncle, is to his right. Big night for a South Florida product whose dad, Jason, like Thomas, is a Dolphins legend and HOFer. #Jets<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/Kus4PNYRjm<\/a><\/p>\n
