MIAMI -- Jay Ajayi has a chance to become the first NFL player to rush for 200 yards in three consecutive games when the Dolphins play the Jets, so imagine the stir he created while visiting New York last weekend during his teams bye week.Lots of attention, right? Wrong.A couple of people at the hotel, maybe, Ajayi said with a grin, but Im still just me, I guess.Not to the Jets. Theyll be geared to stop Ajayi and deny him a rushing record.Were not going to be a footnote in history, defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson said.The Dolphins (3-4) and Jets (3-5) have each revived their season with two consecutive victories, but one of those streaks will end Sunday.Here are some things to know about the 102nd meeting of AFC East rivals:RECORD RUSHER: Ajayi was the Dolphins Mr. October, tying an NFL record by topping 200 yards rushing in consecutive games before the bye.The second-year pro more than doubled his career rushing total, and a lot of his yards in the two games were hard-earned. Ajayi forced 12 missed tackles in 53 carries, and 277 of his 418 yards came after contact, according to Pro Football Focus.Now he and the Dolphins face a Jets run defense ranked No. 1 in the league at 74 yards per game.We know were going to have a good challenge, Ajayi said. At the same time, were not worried about anybody else. Were worried about ourselves. If we do our jobs and we go out there like we know we can play, I think were going to have a good day.The Jets are confident, too. The only previous time they faced Ajayi, he carried three times for 6 yards.Hes a decent back, Richardson said.IT STARTS UP FRONT: While Ajayi has been tough to tackle , he has also benefited from gaping holes courtesy of a group of blockers paving the way for the teams turnaround.It was like we were searching for an identity, first-year Miami coach Adam Gase said, and they basically said, `Well, this is going to be our identity, whether you like it or not. You better start calling runs, because were going to get you yards.The offensive line includes first-round pick Laremy Tunsil, who has become a force at left guard and is coming off his best game yet against the Bills.If you watch his first pull in the game, I think he could have played for Vince Lombardi and run the Green Bay sweep, offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen said.FITZ REBOUNDS: Ryan Fitzpatrick got off to a rough start to the season with 11 interceptions in the first six games, and was benched in favor of Geno Smith. After Smith was lost for the season because of a knee injury, the Jets turned back to Fitzpatrick, who had a brutal first half last week against the Browns, going 3 of 14 for 30 yards.Joe Namath, among others, took to social media to call for Fitzpatrick to be benched again in favor of Bryce Petty. But Fitzpatrick turned things around in the second half and helped lead the Jets to a 31-28 victory.Hes confident he can lead the Jets on the type of run that got them within a win of the playoffs last season.Expectations for us are weve got to win them all, Fitzpatrick said. I mean, thats what we hope to do. I think we have the right guys in the locker room to do it.FORTE FEELS FINE: Matt Forte has put to rest -- at least for now -- any concerns about whether he had anything left in his 30-year-old legs.He had 82 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries last week at Cleveland, a week after rushing for 100 yards and a touchdown on 30 carries against Baltimore.Forte ranks ninth in the NFL with 542 yards rushing, and his six TD runs ties him for fourth.Q IS THE ANSWER: Quincy Enunwa has stepped in for the injured Eric Decker and become a key playmaker for the Jets offense.The 2014 sixth-round draft pick out of Nebraska leads New York with 36 receptions for 502 yards and three touchdowns, including a 57-yarder last week in which he ran through four tackles to get into the end zone. Enunwa also broke up a would-be interception.Hes playing with so much confidence, Fitzpatrick said. He wants to be that guy, and he has really come through this year for us. We expect a lot out of him, and expect him to continue doing it.---AP Sports Writer Dennis Waszak in New York contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine.

In compiling his top five, Jon looked at both the players individual ability but perhaps more importantly the way in which they will effect positive change for the team they has joined.Heres who made the cut ahead of the new season... 5. Sam Tomkins (Wigan Warriors) Tomkins returns from the NRL as a much better player, says Jon Wells Beaten Grand Finalists for the last two seasons, the return of Tomkins is a massive boost for Wigan. Notwithstanding Matty Bowens superb contribution to the Warriors during that period, I think that you will see a better developed player returning to his hometown club in 2016 despite differing opinions of his success or otherwise in the NRL.Sams time in Australia will have undoubtedly made him a better player. It was clear from watching him in his time at the New Zealand Warriors that he has developed into a fine defensive fullback which was perhaps his least strong point (in a whole list of strong points) as a modern-day attacking number 1. Add to that 15 try assists in his 37 game spell with the NRL outfit and a clearer picture emerges of what Tomkins will be bringing back with him to the UK.Hes a class act, this is his club, and from a competitive perspective there will not be a head coach in Super League who will enjoy seeing his name at the head of the Wigan team sheet this year. People are expecting big things; and I reckon hell deliver.4. Ryan Hampshire (Castleford Tigers) Castlefords Ryan Hampshire In my opinion, the skys the limit for the Warriors loanee Hampshire. The return of Tomkins and the continued development of Lewis Tierney and in particular George Williams and his burgeoning partnership with Matty Smith means Wigans loss for 2016 is very much Castlefords gain.Luke Gale is nailed on for the No 7 jersey this season but the Tigers tinkered with their stand-off position throughout 2015 with Ben Roberts and Liam Finn making the most serious claims. However, my feeling is that Roberts is best-used in the hooking role in tandem with Adam Milner. With Finn moving on to the Wildcats, Hampshires preference and natural ability could mean a new spark for the Tigers to augment an already formidable - and much better balanced - squad for 2016.Hell be a key player for the Tigers in their push to surpass their revolution as a major force in Super League since the arrival of Daryl Powell.3. Frank Pritchard (Hull FC) Frank Pritchard playing in his final game for the Bulldogs before heading to Hull FC A devastating forward at his best, Pritchard provides huge scope for Hull FC this season. He joins them as a New Zealand and Samoan international player from Canterbury Bulldogs and one look at his highlight reel will show you all you need to know about what he can bring to a side. A huge hitter in defence and blessed with superb hands, Pritchard has the potential to spearhead this Hull FC pack who relied so heavily on Gareth Ellis and Maark Minnichiello last year.dddddddddddd The reason the above is peppered with words such as scope and potential surrounds Pritchards state of mind; he can be a world-beater if he is dialed into the job at hand but has mis-fired in the past.Never has there been so much pressure on a Head Coach as there is this season to ensure his big name signing delivers. But Im an optimist; Lee Radford is a leader - always has been; Pritchard is a winner - and still can be; and Hull FC are a massive presence in Super League.This could be a defining season for player, coach and club.2. Brett Ferres (Leeds Rhinos) Leeds Rhinos and England forward Brett Ferres Off-setting the loss of Sinfield, Peacock and Leuluai was always going to be a huge challenge for the Rhinos. I use the term off-setting as opposed to replacing because I do feel - certainly in the case of Sinfield and Peacock - that these two were simply irreplaceable. The Rhinos will be keen to see the return of Liam Sutcliffe from a lengthy absence after a serious knee injury, and they have added some real grunt up front with the transfer in of Keith Galloway from Wests Tigers, but Ferres is going to be a major player for the Rhinos in 2016. His stock has risen dramatically in the last three seasons and his off-loading ability will really suit Leeds brand of rugby.You also have to think about what his inclusion will do to the rest of the team; I see him competing directly with the likes of Stevie Ward, Jimmy Keinhorst and Jamie Jones-Buchanan and certainly with respect to the former two I feel this can only be a positive for their continued development and to the Rhinos as a whole. To have such strength in depth in a pack which has just said goodbye to two of its mainstays and most dependable players is a huge boost and will mean the Rhinos will have selection headaches rather than selection worries at the back end of the season.1. Glenn Stewart (Catalans Dragons) Catalans Glenn Stewart Joins the Catalans Dragons franchise from the NRLs South Sydney Rabbitohs and brings with him a wealth of big game experience. An Australian international, Stewart may well be the missing piece of the jigsaw for the Dragons; a much-needed ball-playing forward that could really help Richie Myler and Todd Carney. He will give them options at the line which usually ended up in 2015 in Morgan Escares hands. Escare is a fine, fine runner of the ball, but he is young and still learning the passing side of his game.The addition of Stewart, along with a little manipulation of how the Dragons set up their attacking shape, may well help the Dragons find the space on the edge in which they excel. That would allow Escare to concentrate on what he does best and push the Perpignan based side deep into the play-offs in 2016.Hes my one to watch above all others in 2016 and could well be the catalyst which sends the Dragons into or close to a major final.Watch Leeds v Warrington live on Sky Sports 2 HD on Thursday from 7pm.
