Raheem Mostert rushed for two scores to set a franchise single-season record for total touchdowns and the Miami Dolphins dismantled the New York Jets 30-0 on Sunday afternoon at Miami Gardens, Fla.

Bradley Chubb had a field day and matched his career high of three sacks to go with two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery as the AFC East-leading Dolphins (10-4) won for the fourth time in the past five games. Brandon Jones intercepted two passes for Miami, which routed the Jets twice this season by an average of 25.5 points.

Tua Tagovailoa completed 21 of 24 passes for 224 yards and one touchdown for the Dolphins. Tyreek Hill (ankle) missed the contest as Jaylen Waddle stepped into the lead role and had eight receptions with a season-best 142 yards for Miami.

The Jets (5-9) lost for the sixth time in seven games with quarterback Zach Wilson departing late in the second quarter with a concussion. He completed 4 of 11 passes for 26 yards and was sacked four times, while under duress on multiple other occasions.

Trevor Siemian replaced Wilson with 1:03 left in the first half and finished 14-of-26 passing for 110 yards. He was intercepted twice and sacked twice.

New York was held to 103 total yards and committed four turnovers. The Dolphins had 290 yards while playing turnover-free football.

Mostert increased his season touchdown count to 20 with two short scoring runs in the first half. The former club record of 18 was held by legendary receiver Mark Clayton, who set the mark in 1984.

New York was outgained 197-4 in the first half and trailed 24-0 at the break.

Miami's first touchdown was set up when Chubb and Christian Wilkins combined to sack Wilson and Chubb dislodged the ball and Zach Sieler recovered and returned it 3 yards to the Jets' 1-yard line. Three plays later, Mostert scored from the 2 to break Clayton's record.

Jason Sanders kicked a 37-yard field goal with 13:56 left in the second quarter. Six-plus minutes later, immediately after a New York punt, Tagovailoa threw deep and connected with Waddle on a 60-yard scoring pass to make it 17-0.

With 1:03 left in the half, Mostert scored from the 1 to boost the lead to 24.

Sanders added field goals of 27 and 35 yards in the second half for Miami.
