STREAK: The Jets lost the last game (2011, Week 17) and have split the last four matchups. RECENT HISTORY: Last Meeting: L, (01/01/12) The Jets fell to 8-8 and were eliminated from playoff contention after losing to the Dolphins. The loss snapped a streak of three-consecutive seasons with a winning record. The Jets hurt themselves with three turnovers, but still had a chance to win at the end of the game when WR Patrick Turner caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Mark Sanchez to cut the deficit to two points with 1:15 remaining. On the ensuing kickoff, Miami WR Brandon Marshall recovered the Jets onside kick to close out the game. Last Meeting on the Road: L, (01/01/12) The loss brought the Jets season record to 8-8, eliminating all playoff scenarios for the club and snapping a streak of three-consecutive seasons with a winning record. Last Win: W, 24-6 (10/17/11) Returning home after a three-game road trip in which they lost all three to drop their record to 2-3, the Jets turned in a dominant defensive performance against QB Matt Moore, who started his first game that season in place of Chad Henne who had been placed on injured reserve. Testing CB Darrelle Revis all day, Moore and WR Brandon Marshall paid the price, first with a 100-yard interception returnin the first quarter and another pick in the fourth quarter. Moore registered his lowest completion percentage and passer rating of the season as the Jets held the Dolphins to their lowest point total in the series in 10 years. 6

Both LT D Brickashaw Ferguson, chosen fourth overall, and C Nick Mangold, selected 29th overall, were named to various NFL All-Rookie teams and have since been named to multiple Pro Bowls. That draft class started 47 games in 2006 and helped the Jets advance to the first round of the NFL Playoffs with a record of 10-6 in Tannenbaum s first season at the helm, a six-win improvement from the 2005 campaign DRAFT In 2009, Jets general manger Mike Tannenbaum selected three players, QB Mark Sanchez (first round), RB Shonn Greene (third round) and G Matt Slauson (sixth round).
