Jets Eliminated as Dolphins Win in Overtime

The New York Jets have been eliminated from playoff contention for the 14th consecutive year, marking the longest active playoff drought across all major American sports leagues, following their 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins. Despite leading in the fourth quarter, the Jets could not hold off the Dolphins, with Tua Tagovailoa throwing a game-winning touchdown pass to Jonnu Smith. Aaron Rodgers, in his first 300-yard game in nearly three years, recorded 339 yards and a touchdown, but it wasn't enough for a victory. The Dolphins, now 6-7, keep their playoff hopes alive, needing to win three of their final four games for a wild-card spot. This loss continues the Jets' streak of nine consecutive losing seasons, amid a tumultuous year marked by significant managerial changes.
