Gang Green Nation: Make It 41 Years And Counting
On Sunday, New York lost the AFC Championship game, 30-17, continuing decades of futility.
Make it 41 years and counting. An unlikely run came to the end today in Indianapolis. The Jets fought their hearts out, but the best player in football had his way with the defense in the second half.

And it hurts.
