Jets' Playoff Drought Hits 15 Years

On April 5th, the New York Jets now owned the longest active playoff drought in North

American pro sports, sitting at 15 straight seasons without a postseason spot.

That title got locked in this weekend after the NHL's Buffalo Sabers snapped their own

14-year dry spell by clinching a playoff berth on Saturday.

Shout out to ESPN's Rich Semini for spotlighting how the Sabers break through leaves the Jets

out there alone.

Our head coach, Aaron Glenn, brings experience from the 1998 Jets squad that fell one game

short of the Super Bowl.

Glenn's first year didn't go as planned, sparking a full coaching staff overhaul from

the team he originally built.

He hung on by the skin of his teeth, saved by a huge buyout clause that kept him in the

mix for round two.

The NFL's packed with worse-to-first turnaround tales that keep everyone hopeful at the start

of a zero and zero season.

With the draft right around the corner, the Jets have a real window to flip the script.

If they miss out again, that streak hits 16 and creeps closer to the all-time mark of

25 seasons are record the Cardinals own from.

1949 through 1974, eyes on the Jets could be their time.
