For a guy who has spent most of the last decade as a backup quarterback, Matt Moore has an uncanny knack for intersecting with the New York Jets at pivotal moments of his career.Moore will make his first start in almost five years on Saturday night, when he replaces an injured Ryan Tannehill for the Miami Dolphins as they visit the Jets at MetLife Stadium.The opponent for Moores previous start on Jan. 1, 2012? The Jets, against whom Moore went 22-of-32 for 135 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the Dolphins 19-17 win.Its rare to see, really, to have that much time in between starts, because something usually happens, Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said Wednesday. This organization has been fortunate as far as having the same guy behind center game after game.Tannehill, whom the Dolphins selected in the first round of the 2012 draft, started the first 77 games of his career before suffering a left knee injury in Sundays 26-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals.Moore, who went 3-of-5 for 47 yards and directed the game-winning drive last week, has attempted just 35 passes since the start of the 2012 season. The bulk of those came against the Jets on Oct. 28, 2012, when Tannehill suffered knee and quad injuries and Moore went 11-of-19 for 131 yards and one touchdown in the Dolphins 30-9 win.I think Ive filled my role the best I could and Ive had opportunities to play and its gone well, Moore said. Im lucky Im surrounded with a great team. Ive got great guys on offense to work with.In another interesting wrinkle, Jets head coach Todd Bowles knows what its like to work with Moore: He concluded his three-game stint as the Dolphins interim head coach in the 2011 season finale.I have a lot of respect for Matt, Bowles said Tuesday. He hasnt played in a while -- obviously, Tannehills been playing good for them. Matts a competitor. I know he can throw the football and hell be ready to play.With Tannehill expected to avoid surgery but miss the rest of the season, Moores task is as easy as it is imposing: Keep the resurgent Dolphins (8-5) in the playoff race against the Jets (4-9), who are one of only three AFC teams eliminated from playoff contention.The Dolphins, who havent reached the playoffs since winning the AFC East in 2008, enter this week tied with the Denver Broncos for the final wild-card spot, though the Broncos enjoy the tiebreaker via a better strength of victory. However, Miami has gone 7-1 in its last eight games while Denver is just 2-4 in its last six games.Moore said he is trying to keep the same approach even as his job has changed.Ive talked to coach Gase more, Ive probably talked to (quarterbacks coach) Bo (Hardegree) a little more, Moore said. But nothing crazy has changed. Im obviously excited. Its an opportunity to win another game and keep us going in the direction were going.The Jets direction has long been established, but Saturday night represents a chance to get a little revenge on the Dolphins while finding out what they have in new starting quarterback Bryce Petty. Miami beat New York 27-23 on Nov. 6, when Kenyan Drake returned a kickoff 96 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 5:15 remaining in the fourth quarter.Anybody in our room that doesnt think these guys kicked our butts -- and thats saying it nicely -- then somethings wrong with that, Jets special teams coach Brant Boyer told reporters this week. Hopefully we play a hell of a lot better than we did when we were down there.Petty made his regular season debut Nov. 6, when he played a series in place of injured quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. This will be the third career start for Petty, who was named the permanent starter immediately after a 41-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Dec. 5. He earned his first NFL win on Sunday, when he led the Jets to 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter and overtime of a 23-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.For the Dolphins, linebacker Kiko Alonso (hand, hamstring), linebacker Jelani Jenkins (hand, knee) and defensive end Mario Williams (ankle) are questionable.For the Jets, cornerback Buster Skrine (concussion) and nose tackle Steve McLendon (hamstring) are out. Tackle Brent Qvale (hamstring) is doubtful). Running back Matt Forte (knee), wide receivers Quimcy Enunwa (ribs) and Brandon Marshall (knee, foot, back) and defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson (ankle) are questionable.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- When the Jacksonville Jaguars decided to have a Pokemon Go event at EverBank Field on Monday night, they set a modest goal of having 10,000 people trying to catch characters throughout the stadium.They blew past that number long before the two-hour window closed.The team estimates that more than 15,000 people attended, which is well above the 9,651 who registered on the teams website, and has the team saying it created the largest Poke adventure in the United States.We actually knew it would be big, but we didnt know how big it was going to get to, said Steve Ziff, the Jaguars vice president of marketing and digital media. Its pretty amazing.Two of those 15,000-plus people were Bryan and Kari Hall. Bryan Hall, an Army veteran, said hes obsessive about arriving at events early, which is why he and his wife arrived at 2:30 p.m. ET -- 3? hours before the event began.Naturally, they were the first two people in line, which at one point was so long it snaked to the edge of Lot J and back, then wound through several other parking lots and curled around the baseball stadium on the other side of the sports complex.Ive been playing Pokemon since it came out, Bryan Hall, 30, said. That was one of my first games my parents bought, and I still to this day own so many Pokemon games. I still play them.The chance to get a little badge from [the Jaguars for being one of the first 1,000 people in line], it ... felt like it was kind of awesome, the nostalgia from childhood.Before the event began, Bryan Hall said he had captured 109 Pokemon characters and hoped to load up inside the stadium. Kari Hall has been playing the game for only a week but said shes already up to Level 12. She got started because she had never been to the Jaguars stadium, and her husband convinced her that she needed to play to accompany him.Now Ive actually started to get into it, she said.The Halls were the first inside EverBank Field to begin a walking tour that took Pokemon hunters, called trainers, through the stadium and included the pools in the North end zone and the Sky Patio in the South end zonne.ddddddddddddThere were two PokeStops -- which is where trainers can acquire items to help hunt the Pokemon -- and two Pokemon Gyms, which serve as battle locations for team-based matches.And yes, there are teams. Three, to be exact: Team Valor, Team Mystic and Team Instinct. Trainers team up to battle opposing teams. There was a steady stream of trainers moving through the stadium during the two-hour event. There werent any problems, though one trainer walked into a stadium directory sign while hunting. She seemed more concerned with her phone than her head.There was some colorful and interesting language, though. Such as:Wesley, catch this darn thing.Im trying to find a Growlithe.I really hate the outdoors.The idea to have the event at EverBank Field came from Chris Burdett, the Jaguars senior digital media manager, and Spenser Coop, the teams manager of market strategy, in conjunction with corporate partner Fan Duel.The event was such a success that there already is talk of doing it again soon -- and hopefully getting Jaguars owner Shad Khan in on the hunt, too.We couldnt get him to play Pokemon but it might happen if we do it again, Burdett said. Were going to see how this goes, and if it is very successful we might do this again in the next couple months because the games going to keep updating and evolving so we might as well try to capture it again.That would be fine with Mark McEwen and his 6-year-old son, Christopher, who bagged nine Pokemon, including Poliwhirl and Venusaur. Even though they had trouble parking -- some of the lots are unavailable because of construction to the stadiums club seat areas and lounges -- they waited only 20 minutes in line before they were inside the stadium.Its a good bet that theyll be back if the Jaguars do it again.The kids wanted to come, Mark McEwen said. We had a good time. Its a good way to get out of the house instead of being stuck in the house on a Monday. We got the whole family together and came out. ' ' '
