Midway through the fourth quarter, the Miami Dolphins likely learned that their playoff hopes had been erased. The Broncos' thrashing of the Chiefs confirmed that the Dolphins would miss out for the first time under head coach Mike McDaniel.
Aaron Rodgers seemed to not care either way. In what could have been his final NFL start — the potential end of a Hall-of-Fame career — Rodgers rebounded from an early interception to pass for four touchdowns and make two big-time throws. The New York Jets used that effort to claim a 32-20 win over the Tyler Huntley-led Dolphins and end their season on a positive — although the negatives were far more glaring throughout the campaign.

PLAYER OF THE GAME
The tried-and-true Rodgers-to-Adams connection powered the Jets to their Week 18 win. Davante Adams made one contested catch and finished with 88 yards and a touchdown on six receptions. The score came on a play where Rodgers could have easily run the ball in, but he chose to link up with his longtime receiver for at least one more instance of Rodgers-Adams magic.
