EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Jets head into the final four games of the season in an all too familiar position: no hope for the playoffs, mired in quarterback uncertainty.

Their playoff drought, almost old enough to drive, turned 15 years old Sunday, as the Jets were officially eliminated with their 34-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium. It sealed what had become inevitable two months ago during their 0-7 start.

Once again, the Jets own sole possession of the longest active postseason slump in North America's sports leagues -- the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and MLS. They've been sharing it for several months each year with the NHL's Buffalo Sabres, currently at 14 years.
