The New York Jets ' rocky first half against the Miami Dolphins included running back Braelon Allen exiting the game early with a knee injury.
Allen was injured on a kickoff return late in the second quarter and quickly ruled out. Allen had run for 26 yards on four carries prior to getting injured. He also committed a costly fumble deep in Dolphins territory that short-circuited the Jets' 12-play, 82-yard opening drive.
Allen, a 2024 fourth-round pick, wasn't the only Jets player that struggled to protect the ball in the first half. His quarterback, Justin Fields , put the ball on the ground late in the second quarter after taking a sack. The fumbles were the first forced turnovers by Miami's defense this season.
