Jets hold dubious honor of longest playoff drought in North American professional sports

The New York Jets now hold the longest playoff drought in all of North American professional sports after the Sacramento Kings clinched an NBA playoff berth, ending their 16-year drought. The Jets haven't made the playoffs in 12 years, enduring seven consecutive losing seasons and starting 13 different quarterbacks during that stretch. The team is hoping to finalize a trade for Aaron Rodgers to snap the drought, but they still have a while to go to reach the longest playoff drought in NFL history.
