The Dolphins are a team with character. The Jets are a bunch of jerks.
That, as much as Sunday's 30-25 final at the Meadowlands, is the difference between the bitter AFC East rivals.
The Dolphins overcame an internal earthquake that shook the lineup and an external avalanche of criticism that threatened to shake their confidence. The Jets talked smack and got smacked.
The Dolphins went to a bully's house and didn't back down. The Jets tried to bully the Dolphins and got a black eye for their trouble.
The Dolphins and Jets. Night and day.
Through adversity and despite their own flaws, the Dolphins responded in this game the way teams with resilience are supposed to respond -- by winning and claiming their second victory in as many games against the Jets.
The Jets?
They are a beaten, battered bunch that has lost four of five games but still, inexplicably, don't know when to shut up.
After losing to Miami for the second time in three weeks, their blowhard coach actually talked about how his team outplayed the Dolphins.
``We outplayed them but got beat,'' Rex Ryan bloviated. ``You have to give their kickoff return guy credit. It's almost 4-to-1 in yardage, but I'd rather be in their locker room with a win than here, even though I'd rather be in this one moving forward. We have a better record right now, so I'll take this locker room.''
