However, Miami’s defense got a stop and the fifteenth-ranked ‘Canes caught fire in the second half, outscoring Southern Miss by 20 points in the game’s final 30 minutes to secure a 30-7 victory. Van Dyke then unleashed a 35-yard deep ball to find receiver Key’Shawn Smith in the end zone, putting Miami up 24-7. “That was probably my best throw of the day,” Van Dyke, who passed for 241 yards and one touchdown on Saturday, said. The ‘Canes preparation paid off, as they let up 10 yards to Gore Jr. and 24 total rushing yards to the Golden Eagles. Quarterback Tyler Van Dyke was particularly shaky in the first half with multiple inaccurate throws, including one that missed tight end Will Mallory in the middle of the field.

The 37-year-old New York Jets running back has a bruised lung that coach Adam Gase said Monday will keep Gore out of the season finale at New England on Sunday. It was originally called a chest injury by the team after Gore left, but tests revealed the lung contusion. Gore has played in 240 games, a record for NFL running backs, over 16 seasons. Gore signed a one-year deal worth $1.05 million with the Jets last May and will be a free agent in the offseason. With Gore sidelined for the finale, the Jets will use La'Mical Perine, Ty Johnson and Josh Adams against the Patriots.

The National Football League season continues to fly by, with seven weeks already in the rearview mirror in the 17-week season.

The New York Jets have surprisingly released Bell, ending a disappointing tenure after less than two full seasons. (AP Photo/David Dermer, File)NEW YORK – The New York Jets' decision to move on from Le'Veon Bell was a stunner. The Jets also gave Bell and his agent permission to explore trades on their ends, but there were no takers. “Yeah, I mean, the first game he played a half and got injured, and then he played this last game,” Gase said. “Nobody thought that was the reason why it’s going the way it’s going,” Gase said.

It was a victory, though, and Vic Fangio and the Denver Broncos are relieved to finally get one — no matter how it looked. Melvin Gordon sealed the Denver Broncos’ first win of the season with a 43-yard touchdown run with 1:48 remaining, and the defense made just enough plays in the fourth quarter to beat the bumbling — and still winless — New York Jets 37-28 on Thursday night.

It all comes full circle for the 37-year-old Gore on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2020, when his Jets host the team with which he began his career 16 years ago. (AP Photo/Adam Hunger, File)NEW YORK – Frank Gore took his first snap as a pro in what seems like a lifetime ago. “I want to win, especially coming off a loss last week,” Gore said, referring to the Jets' 27-17 defeat at Buffalo. “I love Frank Gore,” said 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan, who remembers watching him at the University of Miami while serving as the offensive quality control coach at Tampa Bay from 2004-05. So, to see Gore on Sunday at 37 facing the franchise with which he spent his first 10 NFL seasons might amaze some.

As a freshman at Miami, Gore earned his way onto the field and rushed for 562 yards. But in the end, all that mattered was his senior year, where he led Miami in carries, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. Drafted in the third round with the 65th overall pick by the San Francisco 49ers, Gore spent 10 years as the teams primary running back. Throughout his 15-year NFL career, Gore has become one of the most successful running backs in history. Gore spent the day with Bryant and other residents of West Coconut Grove and helped out with renovations to nine homes and two local community buildings.
