When it comes to today’s Jets vs. Dolphins game, there’s still a lot that’s up in the air. The AFC playoff race, for one, but also the possibility that Jets QB Aaron Rodgers may be playing the last game of his Jets tenure — and maybe even his entire career.
Rodgers, who has played 20 seasons in the NFL, isn’t making a decision right away on his future in the league, but as the Jets prepare to hire a new GM and head coach for the 2025-26 season, it’s likely that he won’t be suiting up in Gotham Green after today.
While the Jets don’t have much to play for today with their season over at the conclusion of today’s game, they can play spoiler to their division rivals as they enter today’s game with a must-win mindset. The Dolphins aren’t completely out of the playoff race, but they need a win to keep those playoff hopes alive. That, paired with a Broncos loss, will be enough for them to enter the postseason. For the second week in a row, the Dolphins will start backup QB Tyler Huntley with Tua Tagovailoa still out with a hip injury.
