Aaron Rodgers Throws Four Touchdowns in Jets Win

In a potentially pivotal game for both teams, Aaron Rodgers led the New York Jets to a 32-20 victory over the Miami Dolphins, marking his 500th career touchdown pass and solidifying his status as one of the NFL's elite quarterbacks. At 41 years old, Rodgers hinted at retirement, stating he would decide on his future within a month post-season, while the Jets' management faces uncertainty with a new general manager and coach coming in. The Dolphins, needing a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, fell short, finishing the season with an 8-9 record, marking the end of their playoff aspirations for the first time in three years under coach Mike McDaniel. Despite a strong performance from De'Von Achane, who rushed for over 100 yards and scored a touchdown, the Dolphins struggled offensively without starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The loss coupled with the Denver Broncos' victory over the Kansas City Chiefs sealed Miami's fate, leaving them with the NFL's longest playoff-win drought at 24 years. The Jets, now 5-12, ended their season on a high note, while questions loom for the Dolphins regarding potential changes in their coaching and management staff.
