Jaylen Waddle puts Dolphins up 24-3 in Atlanta

The Dolphins suffered a tough loss on the road in Week 7, but their Week 8 road trip is shaping up much better.

Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle took a short pass from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and broke loose for a 43-yard touchdown with 4:18 left in the third quarter. This was Tagovailoa’s third touchdown pass of the afternoon, giving the Dolphins a commanding 24-3 lead.

Early in the third quarter, the Falcons looked poised to score, driving deep into Miami’s territory. However, running back Bijan Robinson fumbled in the red zone, and linebacker Tyrel Dodson recovered the ball, marking the first turnover of the game.

Robinson has struggled on the ground, accumulating just 22 rushing yards. Meanwhile, the Falcons have totaled 85 yards as a team, playing with Kirk Cousins at quarterback in place of the injured Michael Penix.

Jets claim LB Kobe King off of waivers

The New York Jets have added a linebacker to their active roster ahead of Week 8’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The team announced that they have claimed Kobe King off waivers.

King was recently released by the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday when they activated running back Aaron Jones off injured reserve. Originally a sixth-round pick earlier this year, King appeared in five games, recording four tackles. Most of his playing time came on special teams.

In other roster updates, the Jets could see the return of linebacker Quincy Williams this weekend. Williams has missed the last four games due to a shoulder injury but was designated to return from injured reserve this week. He was listed as questionable to play on Friday.

However, the Jets will be without Cam Jones, who has been ruled out with a hip injury ahead of the game.
