The Jets (0-6) became the NFL's only winless team and continued their worst start since 1996, increasing the heat on embattled coach Adam Gase.
The Dolphins blanked the Jets for the first time since the January 1983 AFC championship game, which they won 14-0.
The two teams were a combined 0 for 19 on third downs before the Jets finally converted with 11 minutes left.
The Dolphins' only third-down conversion came on a completion by Tagovailoa, who went 2 for 2 for 9 yards.
