When the then-2-4 New York Jets acquired star wide receiver Davante Adams in an attempt to reignite their season, they likely didn't envision the next seven games going this poorly: loss, loss, win, loss, loss, loss and, most recently, loss.

Few things have gone right for the team, despite being in position to win several more contests. Seven of their defeats have come by 6 or fewer points, including each of the past three.

The Jets' Week 14 battle with the Miami Dolphins was nearly locked up, a 26-23 lead in hand with 52 seconds remaining, but it all went downhill once more. A long kickoff return helped Miami even the score, and New York's offense didn't lay a finger on the ball in overtime as the Dolphins marched down the field for the game-winning touchdown.

The Dolphins' 32-26 win, a game in which Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle returned to their dominant ways, brings the team to 6-7 and close to knocking on the playoff door.
