Woody Johnson Had the Most Laughable Quote on Jets’ Season After Week 18 Win
For the last five months and counting, thereās been plenty to laugh at in the New York Jetsā disaster-class of a season.Ā
During what was supposed to be a Super Bowl-contending year, quarterback Aaron Rodgers led the Jets to another losing campaign, missed the playoffs altogether and saw the head coach and general manager of the franchise get unceremoniously sacked.
Jets owner Woody Johnson, who hasnāt been immune to embarrassment himself, was asked about his thoughts on the teamās season performance after Sundayās 32ā20 win over the Miami Dolphins. He replied with what some fans thought was a completely delusional answer:
āAll the networks that were paying millions of dollars, they put us in five primetimeāsix primetime (games), everybody thought this (season) was going to be unbelievable,ā Johnson told reporters. āSo from that standpoint, yeah, we didnāt live up to that early opinion of virtually everybody.Ā
āBut we ended up well. Because I donāt care about anything else, but a win at the end was good. We beat them today, they played well, they didnāt give up, everybody showed up and we did some really nice things.ā

ā Jets Videos (@snyjets) January 6, 2025To be clear, the Jets made all the wrong kinds of history in 2024. They extended their record-breaking active playoff drought to 14 years and finished third in the AFC East with a dismal 5ā12 record, clinching their ninth consecutive losing season.
But, because the Jets finally got their offense going in a mostly meaningless season finale against the Dolphins, who was without starter Tua Tagovailoa, New York deserves a hearty pat on the back, according to Johnson.
Just a truly wild take after the team fell miles short of their highest expectations in decades.
