Two AFC East rivals who have witnessed their once promising seasons spiral downward will battle in Week 18 while looking to snap five-game losing streaks.
The Jets, who have been eliminated from playoff contention, will encounter a Miami club with fading playoff hopes. The Dolphins can secure the 7-seed in the AFC with a victory over New York, combined with a Bills’ win over the Patriots. Should the Patriots beat the Bills in Week 18, Miami would be eliminated.
New York owns the longest playoff drought in the NFL dating back to 2010 and has lost six of its last seven games after starting the season 6-3.
