Follow all the action from the NFL's first ever Black Friday game as the New York Jets look to rebound with Tim Boyle under center against the Miami Dolphins in an AFC East showdown with DailyMail.com's live blog. 

TOUCHDOWN! Dolphins 10-0 Jets

Tagovailoa finds Hill for the receving touchdown to extend the Dolphins' lead to 10-0.

It marks the wide receiver's 10th receiving touchdown of the season and he celebrates by handing the scoring ball to his new wife, Keeta, in the stands.

End of the first quarter

The Jets' third drive starts with a five yard loss after Breece Hall dropped a handoff from Tim Boyle, they fumbled on first down and recovered.

On third-and-ten, Brownlee was flagged for a false start and at the end of the first quarter the Dolphins still lead 3-0 - and have barely been threatened by the Jets.

Tua hits the 3,000-yard mark

Tua Tagovailoa hits the 3,000-yard mark for the seocnd consecutive season.

The quarterback becomes the first Dolphins player not called Dan Marino to throw for 3,000-plus yards in the first 11 games of a season.

FIELD GOAL! Dolphins 3-0 Jets

There's finally some points on the board!

After the previous decision to go for it on fourth down failed, McDaniel opts for a different approach.

On a fourth-and-1 from the Jets’ 20-yard line, the Dolphins go for a 38-yard field goal which is safely through the posts.

New York punts

The Dolphins offense may not be soring any points - yet - but the defense nearly does.

aelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb nearly sack Tim Boyle in the end zone for a safety.

The Jets QB manages to heave the ball away to keep the Jets drive alive - just - but a couple of plays later New York punts AGAIN.

Jets force the turnover

Tagovailoa can't lead the Dolphins into the endzone and on fourth-and-goal, Mike McDaniel opts to go for it.

But Hill can't make the catch with the ball slipping through his hands. The Jets force the turnover, taking over from their own five-yard line.

Tua playing through a slash to his arm

Tua is proving just how tough he is as the Miami quarterback is spotted playing on despite bearing a deep gash on his right arm.

It's not clear how the signal caller sustained the cut but he has been sporting since the first drive.

It looks like the lefty is missing a chunk out of his arm - right in the middle of his tattoo sleeve.

Sauce saves the TD

Sauce Gardner bails out the Jets with great on-on-one coverage with Hill in the end zone to prevent th Dolphins touchdown on fourth down.

Hill comes hopping off

Reed is fortunate just to catch up with him before managing to bring him down with a tackle from behind.

Hill comes hobbling off and looks to be in some pain on the sideline.

But Dolphins fans can rest easy as Hill sits out just the on play before he comes running back on.

He had a quick exam on his left foot before being given the all clear to return. Medicare express.

Robert Saleh throws a challenge flag

The Jets head coach has gone early with his challenge.

Saleh has challenged a five-yard catch from Raheem Mostert, which was originally ruled a catch, with Mostert havign recoevered his own fumble.

But the gamble pays off as the clall is overruled, saving Saleh from looking like a fool with such an early challenge in the first quarter.

The catch was overturned and ruled an incomplete pass. Dolphins now have second-and-ten from their own 26-yard line.

Dolphins take over

Tim Boyle's first start since 2021 featured one first down and the Jets first drive is over.

On a third-and-long the Jets fail to convert in a critical spot - story of the season - and the hosts are forced to punt, which doesn't even cross the 50 yard line.

Now it's Tua Tagovailoa's turn to come out with the Dolphins taking over from their own 15-yard line.

Jets' First Down

Boyle, who is chanelling his inner Aaron Rodgers with a hard count, finds Brownlee, who is getting a chance today due to Lazard's healthy scratch, on 3&2.

There's a flag on the play, offisde for the Dolphins' defense. And that is a Jets' first down!

We're underway!

And it's the Jets who receive as Tim Boyle begins his first drive as New York's starting QB... but the hosts' first play only makes it one yard.

Where it all went wrong for Wilson...

Miami's MetLife takeover

The Dolphins fans have hit the Big Apple in their droves today as they look to have overtaken MetLife Stadium.

Zach Wilson doesn't believe he's 'scapegoated' for New York Jets' offensive woes

Tim Boyle will be suiting up as QB1 for New York this afternoon after Zach Wilson was demoted.

But Wilson doesn't think he's being 'scapegoated' by his demotion to the teams' third-string.

'I don't think I was scapegoated. Absolutely not,' Wilson said Tuesday. 'You've got to look at the situation. We're not scoring touchdowns.'

'Regardless of what I'm doing, my job as a quarterback is to help us score points,' Wilson continued. 'I can sit here and say I've had a bunch of growth and tremendous whatever this year, but if you're not scoring touchdowns, it doesn't matter.'

Aaron Rodgers is in the house

The quarterback is once again at MetLife Stadium to cheer on his teammates from the sideline.

The veteran has been sidelined since Week 1 when he tore his Achilles just four plays into his Jets debut.

Rodgers, dressed in all black, was seen striding into the stadium a couple of hours before the game starts as he makes a desperate attempt to return to the field for the postseason - or even before!

$44m man Allen Lazard listed as INACTIVE

Allen Lazard is a shock inactive for the Jets to face the Dolphins.

The $44million man, who is a favorite of Aaron Rodgers, was not listed on the team's injury report heading into the game.

The move raises some eyebrows with the Jets benching the wideout after splashing out in the summer to bring him to the Big Apple and reunite him with Rodgers.

The inactive opens the door to opportunities for Irvin Charles and Jason Brownlee

To no one's surprise, Zach Wilson is also inactive for today's game after his demotion to third-string quarterback earlier this week.

OL Mekhi Becton, DL Carl Lawson, OL Austin Deculus, and Sam Eguavoen are also listed as the Jets' other inactives.

Bomb threat hours before game

The shopping mall located next to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey was evacuated due to a bomb threat just hours before the Jets play the Miami Dolphins in the NFL's first-ever Black Friday game.

At around 8:15am on Friday morning, New Jersey State Police issued a public safety alert that told visitors in the American Dream Mall, including employees, to evacuate.

Then, in a post on X - formerly known as Twitter - New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy wrote that police were investigating a threat and shoppers should evacuate 'out of an abundance of caution.'

However, around an hour later, he updated citizens and told them law enforcement said there was 'no imminent threat' and the mall was allowed to reopen.

Tis the season...

In honor of Black Friday, the Jets have switched out their usual green home uniforms for all black ones, including a mean matching helmet

Welcome!

Good afternoon and welcome to DailyMail.com's coverage of the AFC East showdown between the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets.

This afternoon's game is making history as it marks the NFL's first Black Friday game.

The hosts head into the Week 12 matchup in desparate need of a win after losing its last three.

Tim Boyle steps in at quarterback for the Jets after struggling Zach Wilson was benched during their previous game against the Buffalo Bills and demoted to third-string by head coach Robert Saleh.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins are the clear favorites to win, sitting top of the AFC East with a 7-3 record.

Stick around as we bring you all the buildup, updates and live score from MetLife Stadium.
