On another miserable Sunday for the Jets, frustration appeared to boil over on their sideline.

During the fourth quarter of what would become a 28-25 loss to the previously winless Dolphins at MetLife Stadium, Garrett Wilson — again a strange nonfactor, with just two catches on three targets — appeared to yell at Jets pass game coordinator Seth Ryan, the son of their former head coach Rex. Wilson unleashed for a few seconds, as quarterback Geno Smith sat between them.

Wilson said he was not yelling at Smith.

“We were collaborating,” Wilson said after the game. “I don’t even think I was talking to Geno. I think we were both heated, but not at each other at all. We were just disappointed with how we were playing up until that point, and wanted to be a little more aggressive.”

Asked about what happened on the sideline with Wilson, Smith said, “He might have been yelling, but I don’t think he was yelling at me.”

If Wilson’s goal were to force his way into being a larger part of the offense and perhaps guide the Jets away from an inexcusable loss, the anger did not work for a team that fell to 2-5.

Wilson — who last week caught just four passes for 44 yards during a loss in Foxborough — somehow was not officially targeted once in the entire first half against Miami. He did make one catch that was erased by a penalty, and thus did not record his first catch until the third quarter. He finished with 26 yards receiving.

The Jets’ offense was not their primary issue — that would have been a defense that could not get off the field and gave up 156 rushing yards against a poor offense — but the Jets’ offense did not steal the game, either.

They were down, 21-14, in the fourth quarter before a 12-play, 68-yard drive that brought them to the Miami 1-yard line.

But two yard-losing runs and a third-down sack of Smith held the Jets to a field goal with 8:57 remaining, and the Jets never got over the hump.
