DAVID GREENE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm David Greene. We now have a pretty good idea why the New York Jets beat the Miami Dolphins yesterday - toilet paper. The NFL game was played in London and The New York Times reported on how the Jets prepared for the trip. It included bringing 350 rolls of toilet paper.

The Jets rolled to their third victory of the season. You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
