Jets Crushed By Bills to Finish Awful Season

The Jets had no answer for the Bills, finding themselves in a big hole at halftime, 21-0. From there, it was easy pickings for Josh Allen and company.

The despair continues for the long-suffering fans of the Jets as the team will miss the playoffs for the 15th straight year.

The Jets finished with another lowly record, 3-14—tied for worst in the league.

Despite the positivism they exuded during training camp, they started the season with a seven-game losing streak and never recovered.

New York was in the bottom half of the league in defensive statistics, including allowing 29.5 points per game. Even the hiring of coach Aaron Glenn, who is known for his defensive acumen, was not enough to propel the team to new heights and end its postseason drought.

Now, as usual, it’s back to the drawing board for New York. At this point, the front office might want to resort to black magic to lift the curse.

New York Giants Upset Dallas Cowboys, 34-17

Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart impressed in his finale, going 22-of-32 for 230 yards and two touchdowns, including a highlight-reel 29-yard backhanded flip to tight end Daniel Bellinger and a 13-yard score to running back Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Tracy rushed for 103 yards, while Devin Singletary added a six-yard touchdown. Kicker Ben Sauls hit four field goals, and linebacker Bobby Okereke’s interception set up a score.

The Cowboys, resting starters in the second half, scored via Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah but couldn’t keep pace.

Denny’s To Go Private in $620 Million Deal For The 72-year-old Breakfast Chain

The deal values the chain at $620 million, including debt. The investors purchasing the company are private equity investment company TriArtisan Capital Advisors, investment firm Treville Capital and Denny’s franchisee Yadav Enterprises.

Under the agreement, Denny’s shareholders will receive $6.25 per share in cash for each share of Denny’s common stock they own, or a total of $322 million. That represents a 52% premium to Denny’s closing stock price on Monday. 

Founded in 1953 as Danny’s Donuts, the company changed its name to Denny’s in 1959 to avoid confusion with another chain, and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange a decade later. During the past two years, Denny’s has struggled to boost sales as consumers shifted toward a reliance on delivery through apps.

New York Giants Beat Las Vegas Raiders

The New York Giants on Sunday ruined their opportunity to guarantee getting the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft by defeating the Las Vegas Raiders, 34-10.

The No. 1 pick now belongs to the 2-14 Raiders, with the Giants holding the No. 2 overall pick. The Giants can still get the No. 1 pick if they lose to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 18 and the Raiders defeat the Kansas City Chiefs.

The 3-13 Giants broke a nine-game 2025 losing streak and a 13-game road losing streak dating back to the 2024 season.

The Giants, who have blown several double-digit leads this season, took a 20-3 lead midway through the third quarter and cruised from there. The victory was the first in six games for interim head coach Mike Kafka, and the first of his career as a head coach.

New England Patriots Defeat New York Jets 42-10

The first half saw the Jets not show up. The Patriots moved the ball at will on offense. They scored a touchdown every time they touched the ball. It was as thorough a beating as you will ever see in the NFL as the Patriots cruised to an insurmountable 35-3 halftime lead. The rest of the game would be extended garbage time.

The Patriots offense proceeded to score their sixth touchdown on another Drake Maye touchdown pass. The score was 42-3 early in the third quarter. 

Drake Maye called it a day and Joshua Dobbs replaced him under center. On the first play of the fourth quarter, Jet Breece Hall took a handoff and rambled 59 yards for a touchdown, making the final score 42-10.

The Jets drop to 3-13 on the season. Next week this abomination of a Jets season mercifully ends when they go on the road to play the Buffalo Bills.
