The Miami Dolphins, reeling after consecutive bad games from their defense the previous two games, went to extraordinary measures to fix the problem on Sunday.
Against the New York Jets the Dolphins on defense:
Benched former Pro Bowl safety Reshad Jones. Oh, he started the game but by the second quarter he was on the bench and did not play again. Jones had struggled on at least one deep passing TD at Houston the week before.
Jones was benched even at the end of the game when the Dolphins put Walt Aikens in the game at safety as Jones stood on the sideline.
