The New York Jets continue to struggle, providing another moment of embarrassment for their fans before facing the Miami Dolphins in their season finale. A banner unfurled at MetLife Stadium prior to the game, displaying the team's logo, was ironically displayed upside down, reflective of the Jets’ dismal 4-12 season. This unfortunate incident, which went viral on social media, added to the frustration of a fanbase that had hoped for a Super Bowl run but faced yet another season without playoff football.

In the early moments of the game, the Jets' defense showed promise by forcing a three-and-out against the Dolphins. However, things quickly turned sour when quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw a slant pass intended for Davante Adams, which was intercepted after being deflected by Miami's Javon Holland into the hands of Tyrel Dodson. This heralded interception marked only the second time in Rodgers’ storied career that he was picked off on his first pass of a game, a somber milestone since his last occurrence came in a playoff match in 2009. Despite holding the Dolphins from scoring touchdowns, the Jets allowed a 26-yard field goal from Jason Sanders, putting Miami ahead early.
