Aaron Rodgers' Super Bowl trophy joke ages terribly after New York Jets blow

Aaron Rodgers joke he made about the Super Bowl trophy has aged terribly after the New York Jets saw their season ended .

The Jets were officially eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday as the Miami Dolphins staged a last minute comeback as a 45-yard kick return by Malik Washington saw the Dolphins force overtime where quarterback Tua Tagovailoa connected with tight end Jonnu Smith three times for 44 yards - including a 10-yard touchdown catch that sealed Miamis 32-26 win.

Defeat confined the Jets to another season without a playoff run as the longest active playoff drought in the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, and WNBA extended to 14-straight seasons.

Its a personal blow for Rodgers who has endured a wretched two years in New York since joining from the Green Bay Packers .

Aaron Rodgers shows his true colors as New York Jets season comes to an end Aaron Rodgers cruelly denied chance to enjoy Jets breakthrough he warned Dolphins about Upon his arrival, Rodgers set up his ambitions to turn the Jets' fortunes around.

The veteran explained that he had hopes for the Jets team after they smoked the Packers in the previous season and added he wants to be part of a team that can win it all and believed this is a place where we can get that done.

Rodgers ill-conceived belief that the Jets could make a run for the Vince Lombardi Trophy saw him quip in his inaugural press conference that the Super Bowl III trophy is looking a little lonely.

He explained how he felt he could contribute and help the team land the franchises second Super Bowl trophy following their success in 1968.

This is building right now, the Super Bowl XLV winner said at the time.

Hes building something special the right way with the right values, the right type of leadership.

I think I can just fit in perfectly.

Im not here to be a savior of any kind.

Im just here to be the best quarterback I can be, to lead authentically and to inspire the guys around me to raise their level of play.

However, injury completely wrote off Rodgers first season in New York before a miserable campaign this year has seen the Jets win one from ten games to fall to a 3-10 record.

Following the defeat, Rodgers admitted the Jets have fallen well short of their Super Bowl goal.

"Yeah the expectations were high, and we didn't reach them.

Not anywhere close, he conceded.

We felt good three weeks in, that weekend off everybody felt real good and since then its been a lot of difficult games with opportunities to win.

We just didn't figure out how to win enough games, I didn't play good enough in some crunch times, that's why we're sitting here with the record we've got." Rodgers opted not to go into great detail about what factors caused the Jets poor season, adding: Theres a lot of reasons, lot of different ways weve lost these games.

Everybody has some skin on that but, you know, we had our opportunities on offense.

Whatever happens on defense doesnt matter, we gotta get to 30.

We didnt do it..
