New York Jets Eliminated from Playoffs

The New York Jets' disappointing season reached a new low as they were officially eliminated from playoff contention for the 14th consecutive year following a 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins. Despite a strong performance from Aaron Rodgers, who threw for 339 yards, and key contributions from Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams, the Jets squandered an eight-point lead in the fourth quarter. The Dolphins tied the game late in regulation and secured the win in overtime with a touchdown pass from Tua Tagovailoa to Jonnu Smith. This loss marks the Jets' ninth defeat in their last ten games and extends their losing streak in Miami to nine. The franchise has now tied for the longest active postseason drought in the NFL, raising concerns about its future direction amid recent coaching and management changes. As the Jets look to the offseason, questions linger about Rodgers' future and the team's ability to rebuild effectively.
