The ending was revealed long ago. In a little more than a week, it will become official.

A Jets season that began with Aaron Rodgers seen as a Super Bowl savior <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/25/sports/jets-six-fourth-quarter-meltdowns-provide-huge-what-if/">will be remembered as an all-time disappointment</a>. A Giants season that <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/25/sports/the-biggest-reasons-for-the-giants-2024-demise/">started with Daniel Jones under center</a> will end with him reaching the playoffs on a different team.

The Jets (4-11) will extend the longest drought in major North American pro sports leagues to 14 seasons. The Giants (2-13) could finish with <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/26/sports/joe-schoen-has-a-giants-plan-even-if-its-hard-to-see-right-now/">their worst record in 50 years</a>.

When the playoffs begin in two weeks, the New York metropolitan area will be without a playoff representative for the seventh time in eight seasons. Giants and Jets fans deserve so much better.
