Aaron Rodgers and the Jets won their final game of the season, but it most definitely was not what they had in mind when they opened the year with ambitious Super Bowl aspirations.
In what may have been his final game in Green and White — and/or in the NFL — Rodgers threw a season-high four touchdown passes to surpass 500 for his career to lead the Jets to a season-ending 32-20 win Sunday over the Dolphins before a sparse crowd at MetLife Stadium.
The win concluded a tumultuous season even by this franchise’s standards, with head coach Robert Saleh fired with a 2-3 record on Oct. 8 and GM Joe Douglas following him to the unemployment line on Nov. 19. It marked the NFL-worst 14th consecutive season without reaching the playoffs for the Jets (5-12) — and their ninth in a row with a losing record.
The Jets already have interviewed former Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff, former Titans GM Jon Robinson, Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy, and ESPN analyst Louis Riddick for their GM vacancy. They also have met with Ron Rivera and Mike Vrabel for the coaching gig, with former Jets coach Rex Ryan slated to interview on Tuesday.
The other major offseason decision will concern Rodgers, who threw for 274 yards Sunday to finish the season with 3,897 — third-most in team history behind Joe Namath’s 4,007 in 1967 and Ryan Fitzpatrick’s 3,905 in 2015 — with 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
The Dolphins (8-9) could have qualified for the playoffs with a win combined with a loss by Denver, but the Broncos (10-7) also throttled the resting NFL-best Chiefs to grab the final AFC wild-card berth.
Starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa missed his second straight game for the Dolphins with a hip injury, so Tyler Huntley got the starting nod for Miami.
After a zero-touchdown, two-interception performance in last week’s ugly loss to the Bills, Rodgers managed his 500th career touchdown pass — joining Tom Brady (649), Drew Brees (571), Peyton Manning (539) and Brett Favre (507) in that exclusive club — with a 5-yard scoring completion to Tyler Conklin in the second quarter.
Rodgers’ first pass of the game, intended for Davante Adams, was deflected and picked off by linebacker Tyrel Dodson deep in Jets territory, resulting in a 26-yard field goal by Jason Sanders.
De’Von Achane busted a 61-yard run up the middle later in the quarter to set up another field goal for a 6-0 Miami lead.
Rodgers completed three consecutive passes to Adams, Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard for 42 yards on the Jets’ next drive. A 20-yard grab and run by Wilson mofed the ball down to the 5-yard line, before Rodgers flipped No. 500 of his career to Conklin over the middle as the Jets took a 7-6 lead.
“I would be fine sleeping in my bed 20 years from now with 499,” Rodgers said earlier this week, “but 500 definitely looks better on paper.”
Adams, who was acquired from the Raiders in October, surpassed 1,000 yards receiving for the fifth consecutive year later in the quarter.
Rodgers added touchdown pass No. 501 with a 13-yard scoring strike to Lazard — his sixth touchdown reception of the year — with 59 seconds remaining. The Jets led 15-6 at halftime after the two-point conversion by Breece Hall. Greg Joseph added a 20-yard field goal in the third quarter for the Jets.
After Achane pulled the Dolphins back within five with a 15-yard run early in the fourth, Rodgers responded with a 70-yard drive culminated by a 4-yard touchdown flip to Adams for a 25-13 game. He added a late 6-yard touchdown throw to Hall to become the first Jets quarterback since Joe Flacco in 2022 with four scoring throws in one game.
