FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Geno Smith will start Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins for the New York Jets, who started Michael Vick in the past three games and went 1-2.

New York is 2-9 and Smith struggled mightily in his second season in the NFL. He went 1-7 with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

Vick took over when Smith threw three first-quarter interceptions against the Buffalo Bills on Oct. 26. He seemed to cement himself as the Jets’ quarterback with steady work in relief of Smith and in the subsequent two games.

However, Vick had a bad night against the Bills on Monday, going 7-for-19 for 76 yards and an interception before being pulled late in the third quarter of a game the Jets lost 38-3.

Vick, who was almost picked off at least three other times, hurt his calf during the loss, but coach Rex Ryan said Monday night that Vick wasn’t benched due to injury. On Tuesday, Ryan said Vick’s injury would not be a factor in determining the starter for the Miami game.

Smith went 10-for-12 for 89 yards in relief.

Each of the previous two times Ryan made a quarterback change — benching Smith for Vick and benching Mark Sanchez for Greg McElroy prior to the penultimate game of the 2012 season — he did so within a day after the previous game.

Ryan termed Smith’s performance “pretty decent” Monday but also pointed out Smith took a sack on the final snap of the game that “wasn’t pretty.”
