Week 17 means the NFL season has come to an end and the playoffs are on the horizon. But not for the Jets, who ended their season with a loss to the Patriots before their head coach, Todd Bowles, got fired.
Here’s how the final day of the NFL season played out on Twitter.
The Jets ended the season as only they could:
And on their final offensive snap of the season, the Jets fumble the ball away to the Patriots. How appropriate

December 30, 2018 Why don't the Jets just put a ribbon on it and call it a day. Fumbles, penalties. Unwatchable.

The #Jets have made it official, firing coach Todd Bowles, per team official.

December 31, 2018 I never will understand firing of coaches when the organization never gives them a full deck of cards to play with!! How do owners evaluate talent when they don’t give them enough talent to work with! Panther fan not a jets fan. Observation

December 31, 2018 There was some tension between Kirk Cousins and Adam Thielen on the sideline of the Vikings’ loss to the Bears:

December 30, 2018 Kirk Cousins: “You’re running like 40 yards downfield, which is like 35 yards farther than I can throw. Stop that.”Adam Thielen: “You’re making infinity dollars per year and you can’t throw it farther than that?”Kirk Cousins: “...shut up.”pic.twitter.com/T4X4R39EJE
