What we learned: Ryan Fitzpatrick catching fire is an underrated viewing experience. Jaguars-Dolphins didn't exactly have the same hype as Chiefs-Ravens, but it was clear from the first series that Fitzpatrick was going to do Fitzpatrick things. He completed 18 of 20 passes on the night, and his completion percentage above expectation was the highest of any quarterback in a game this season. Fitzpatrick has a career record of 56-85-1 as a starter. Yet he's somehow provided countless games where you sit back, watch and think, "This guy can't be stopped."

They looked good in beating the Jaguars, which is a step in the right direction. Does Ryan Fitzpatrick play the entire season? Should he?

When did Jordan Howard turn into Jerome Bettis? Howard, who's averaging roughly 2 feet per carry, is the first back in 27 years with a rushing TD but fewer than 10 yards on the ground in three consecutive games.

What we got wrong: The Dolphins' offense would be more balanced.

Offensive coordinator Chan Gailey said in mid-August that he wanted the Dolphins to "be able to run the football and throw the football effectively. That's really big in the way I see offensive football." But the Dolphins (1-2) have thrown the ball for roughly twice as many yards as they have run it (649 to 324). Miami, which faces an unbeaten Seahawks team in Week 4, is still in search of the right mix as it tries to get more production out of running back Myles Gaskin and improved play from tight end Mike Gesicki and receiver Preston Williams. -- ESPN staff

The Dolphins were unstoppable on offense out of the gate against the Jaguars, piling up 12 first downs in the first quarter -- the most for Miami in an opening quarter in 20 years. The Fins didn't let up much after that, cruising to a 31-13 win in Jacksonville. Ryan Fitzpatrick -- in addition to being a gift to football fans the world over -- remains a pretty damn good quarterback. He completed 12 consecutive passes at one point and easily outplayed Gardner Minshew, the mustachioed QB who most assumed would be getting the Thursday Night Football postgame interview treatment. Instead, it was Fitzmagic: paisley shirt, gnarly beard, chest cabbage everywhere. The Dolphins are lucky to have him ... and so are we.
