By the time New York's defense stiffened against Joe Flacco, the damage was done. The Jets couldn't overcome a brutal first half when Flacco carved up a secondary he knows well and New York was roughed up 37-20 on Thursday night by the Cleveland Browns, who clinched a playoff berth. Flacco, who spent the previous three seasons with the Jets, passed for 309 yards — 296 in the first half — as the Browns (11-5) built a 20-point lead and then held on over a sloppy final 30 minutes to send the Jets (6-10) to their seventh loss in nine games.
New York staged one of the biggest comebacks in team history last season, scoring two touchdowns in the final 1:22 to stun the Browns 31-30 behind QB Joe Flacco, who has saved Cleveland's season. The Browns ended a 19-game losing streak with a win over the Jets in 2020 — also on a Thursday night. STATS AND STUFF: The Jets are trying to avoid a fourth straight double-digit loss season.

Mike McDaniel was certain his team would avoid another week of disappointment after the Dolphins saw a 14-point fourth-quarter lead fizzle in less than five minutes in their last outing. Last Monday's collapse against the Tennessee Titans was a “punch to the gut,” McDaniel said Sunday. Raheem Mostert scored two more touchdowns to set Miami's single-season record with 20, Tua Tagovailoa threw for 224 yards and a score and the Dolphins shut out the Jets 30-0 on Sunday without star receiver Tyreek Hill.
