It seems the New York teams are unable to show their magic in the sports world. In 2023, Aaron Rodgers’ team, the New York Jets, were aiming to achieve something big, but they ended up making history in a way they didn’t want.

They suffered a significant loss to the Miami Dolphins, which marked their 13th consecutive year of missing the playoffs. This makes them the team with the longest ongoing streak of not making the playoffs among the four major professional sports leagues in the U.S. However, now this NY team isn’t alone on their embarrassing record.

A new entry for another NY Team?

Before the Jets marked the longest ongoing losing streak for the 13th time, they were previously tied with the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres for this unfortunate record. But now the NHL (National Hockey League) team joined Aaron Rodgers’ team once again. As per uSTADIUM official X account, “The #Jets are no longer in sole possession of the longest standing postseason drought (13 years) in North American Sports … they are joined by a fellow NY Team in the Buffalo #Sabres.” The Sabres’ dreams of making it to the playoffs were dashed on Tuesday night when they lost 3-2 to the Dallas Stars.

This loss marked their 13th consecutive season without making it to the postseason, setting a record for the longest playoff absence in NFL history. Despite their efforts, their current standing of 37 wins, 37 losses, and 5 overtime losses, with 79 points, leaves them six points behind the Washington Capitals for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. With only three games left in the season, it’s impossible for them to catch up now, especially since the Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburgh Penguins, who are competing for the spot, are set to play against each other. The winner of that game will have more points than the Sabres could potentially achieve even with three consecutive wins.

However, some social media users are upset because the Buffalo Sabres, a hockey team from Buffalo, New York, are often associated with the state’s name. New York has three NHL teams: the New York Rangers in Manhattan, the New York Islanders on Long Island, and the Buffalo Sabres. Even though Buffalo is not close to New York City, some still call the Sabres a “New York” team because the state’s name is part of their team name.

Nevertheless, the NHL team, Sabres, have tied with Aaron Rodgers’ team in their early postseason consecutive losses.

When was the last time the Jets made it to the playoffs?

The Jets haven’t been in the playoffs since 2010, despite reaching the AFC Championship game back then. Since that season, they have struggled, only having one winning season and finishing better than third in their division three times. They’ve had eight straight losing seasons now. The Denver Broncos also face a similar issue, as they haven’t made the playoffs since winning Super Bowl 50 in 2015.

The Jets’ lack of success can be attributed to unstable coaching and poor player decisions, like drafting Sam Darnold and signing Le’Veon Bell. Additionally, they play in a tough division with teams like Buffalo, Miami, and New England, who have been historically dominant.

Now, the only question left for the Jets in 2024 is whether Aaron Rodgers will break this losing streak or not.
