Miami Dolphins (7-3-1) @ New York Jets (6-4-1) Sunday, November 22, 1981, 4:00PM Shea Stadium, New York, NY Attendance: 59,962 Weather: cloudy, 40 °F, 52% humidity, wind 22 mph "To star in the NFL an athlete most overcome all possible obstacles, and last week Jet quarterback Richard Todd proved he was a star of gallant proportions. With New York vying for first place in the AFC East, Todd played every down with a cracked rib, and bravely stood up to a blitzing Miami defense... Todd went on to prove he was the man for the moment... After six years of famine and ridicule, Todd had led the Jets to their most important victory in the post-Namath era... and are now on the verge of their first winning season since 1969. After being treated as the AFC's doormat for years, these rejuvenated Jets have become a team of Cinderalla charm." From 1978 through 1981, the Dolphins finished each season with a better W-L record than the Jets, though head-to-head the Jets were 7-0-1 vs. the Dolphins during this time.
