Jets’ postseason drought extends to NFL-high 14 straight seasons with a loss to Dolphins
Associated PressMIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The ugly pattern that has defined the New York Jets’ disappointing season showed up again Sunday. The Jets squandered a fourth-quarter lead for the fifth time and they lost 32-26 in overtime to the Miami Dolphins, extending their postseason drought to 14 straight years — the NFL’s longest active streak. “We’re playing for our pride at this point.” Not even Aaron Rodgers’ first 300-yard passing game since Dec. 12, 2021, or Anders Carlson’s 42-yard field to put the Jets ahead 26-23 with 52 seconds remaining proved sufficient to keep the Jets’ faint postseason hopes alive. “And not getting that accomplished, I’ve got to look at myself first.” Before the late collapse, the Jets ended their first five drives end with scores. But I felt like we moved the ball pretty efficiently.” When Rodgers joined the Jets before the 2023 season, there were high hopes that the four-time MVP would help end the playoff drought.
