Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets put an end to a terrible 2024 NFL season on a high note as they beat the Miami Dolphins 32-20 at MetLife Stadium on Sunday night, which still couldn't make up for the fact that they ended with a very dissapointing 5-12 record.
The Jets sunk the Dolphins' chances (8-9 record) for a postseason berth as the Green & White scored 15 points and three players hit career milestones in the second frame that catapulted them over its division rival.

Aaron Rodgers gets to 500 career touchdowns
Former MVP Aaron Rodgers achieved his 500th touchdown in his 248th regular season game with a 5-yard scoring toss to tight end Tyler Conklin. The quarterback was surrounded by his teammates and trotted to the sideline holding the pigskin, one that he for sure will forever cherish.
Rodgers threw his first NFL touchdown to Greg Jennings in a 37-27 loss at Dallas Cowboys on Nov. 29, 2007 -- when he was in his third season with the Green Bay Packers, after replacing legendary quarterback Brett Favre in the game.
He tossed his first professional touchdown as a starter to Korey Hall in a 24-19 win at Lambeau Field against the Minnesota Vikings in the Monday night season opener on Sept. 8, 2008.
He s Tom Brady (649), Drew Brees (571), Peyton Manning (539) and Brett Favre (508) as the only players to throw 500 regular-season touchdown es.
Wide receiver Davante Adams eclipsed 1,000 yards for the fifth straight season on a 30-yard gain in the second quarter and running back Braelon Allen's 8-yard run gave him the most rushing yards for a player under 21 years old in NFL history.
What's going to happen with Aaron Rodgers?
It is not clear if Aaron Rodgers would come back for the 2025 season with the New York Jets or if he's coming back at all after a very impressive 20-year NFL career.
"Yeah, of course," Rodgers said when asked Wednesday if he has considered that the season finale Sunday against Miami could also be it for him. The 41-year-old quarterback insisted, though, he's not ready to make a call on his playing future. "I just need a break mentally to kind of refresh and put my feet in the sand," he said. "And see where I'm at after that."
Still, he very much sounded as though he doesn't necessarily expect to be back with the Jets - even if he does want to continue playing.
"I mean, gratitude, honestly," Rodgers said of his time in New York, repeating that sentiment throughout his 10-minute chat with reporters. "It's been the best two years of my life."
Rodgers came to the Jets in April 2023 in a trade from the Packers and immediately stoked optimism throughout the organization and fanbase that New York could go on a Super Bowl run. Or two. Or even more.
