The New York Jets ended their season on a high note with a 32-20 win over the Miami Dolphins. Aaron Rodgers led the charge, throwing four touchdown passes, including his 500th career regular-season touchdown, making him the fifth player in NFL history to reach this milestone. Rodgers' performance was pivotal, as he completed 23 of 36 passes for 274 yards, connecting with Tyler Conklin, Davante Adams, Allen Lazard, and Breece Hall for touchdowns. The Jets' defense also played a crucial role, forcing three turnovers in the second quarter, which helped them build a commanding lead. "This is an opportunity just to celebrate this team and finishing it the right way was big, for all of us," said interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich[2].

The Miami Dolphins entered the game with a chance to make the playoffs but fell short after their loss to the Jets and the Denver Broncos' victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite a strong start, the Dolphins struggled to maintain momentum, with quarterback Tyler Huntley throwing two interceptions. Star wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who had a disappointing season, hinted at a possible departure from the team, expressing frustration over missing the playoffs for the first time in his career. "I have to do what's best for me and my family," Hill stated, signaling potential offseason changes for Miami[5].

As the Jets celebrate their season-ending victory, questions loom about the future of quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The 41-year-old veteran, who achieved a significant milestone in the game, is contemplating retirement. Rodgers expressed uncertainty about continuing his career and whether the Jets want him for another season. The Jets, who will undergo changes with a new general manager and coach, face a crucial offseason. "I just need some time away to think about my future in the game," Rodgers said, reflecting on his two years with the team and the potential end of his storied career[3].
