With NHL's Sabres ending long playoff drought, the Jets stand alone
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The NFL’s New York Jets currently hold the longest active playoff drought in North American professional sports, having missed the postseason for 15 consecutive seasons.
- The Buffalo Sabres recently ended their own 14-year playoff drought, highlighting the Jets' prolonged struggles.
- Jets head coach Aaron Glenn, a former player from the 1998 team that nearly reached the Super Bowl, is determined to turn the franchise around and build a winning legacy.
- The Jets have overhauled much of their coaching staff, and despite challenges, Glenn remains in his position due to a significant buyout preventing his dismissal.
- With the upcoming draft and a new season ahead, there is cautious optimism that the Jets could finally return to the playoffs, though failure would extend their drought closer to the all-time record of 25 seasons held by the Cardinals.
