FLORHAM PARK, NEW JERSEY—Officially unable to improve on matching 5-11 marks from the last two seasons, the New York Jets obviously did not punch their ticket to the NFL playoffs. Yet, their December slate has become must-see television.
Sunday’s home finale against the Green Bay Packers was one of the few games on the Week 16 NFL slate with zero playoff implications. An exciting back-and-forth showcase was punctuated with typical Jets antics, ones that were both preventable and beyond their control. When all was said and done, the Jets (4-11) were on the wrong side of the scoreboard yet again, falling 44-38 in overtime.
