Wow.

It seems like after a porous first half New York Jets They would take a 24-16 lead early in the fourth quarter and keep their slim play-off chances alive with a better effort in the second half.

Instead, the Jets fell short once again in a stunning last-minute 28-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday afternoon.

The defense collapsed when it needed to step up the most, and QB Aaron Rodgers made costly mistakes like keeping the clock running on the final drive to have a chance to get into field goal range and attempt a potential game-winning field goal.

In Rodgers’ defense, it didn’t help that interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich inexplicably called the Jets’ final timeout with 1:32 remaining, with the Colts taking the lead for good just two plays later.

Now the Jets will need to make history in order to play meaningful games in late January, as no team with a 3-8 record has made the postseason since 1998.

Unless a miracle happens and the Jets do something unimaginable by running the table and winning their last six games, the season will likely be over and heading into the bye week.

If this is truly a collapse and the Jets lose most, if not all, of their remaining games, major changes would need to be made for an experienced roster that is clearly in this season to try to win the Super Bowl.

Here is the live analysis and updates from Sunday’s game between Jets and Colts at MetLife Stadium:

And so the Colts took the lead again when Anthony Richardson entered the end zone with less than a minute left. Will the Jets come back and win this game?

The Jets scored 25 or more points for the first time this season, extending their lead late in the game with a 35-yard field goal from newcomer Anders Carlson.

This one wasn’t over yet, as the Colts mounted their most efficient drive of the day, going 70 yards in eight plays, with Anthony Richardson throwing a 10-yard touchdown pass up the middle to Josh Downs.

Indianapolis tries to tie the game at two, but Richardson barely knocks down his intended target to keep it a two-point game.

Aaron Rodgers scored his second passing touchdown of the day as he found tight end Kenny Yeboah for his first career TD reception.

This was Yeboah’s third catch of the season after starting the year on injured reserve.

With the fourth pick in as many weeks, recently signed Anders Carlson took another career-long step with a 58-yard field goal that sneaked in from the left wing.

The back-and-forth battle continues in the Meadowlands, and Gang Green is now ahead.

The Colts regained the lead thanks to a stunning 56-yard field goal by Matt Gay.

Now it’s time for Aaron Rodgers to react once again after back-to-back successful drives.

In the blink of an eye, the Jets took the lead.

That makes for 14 unanswered points for Gang Green, who has scored in two of its last three games after the defense forced Colts QB Anthony Richardson into a sack deep in its own territory.

Two plays later, Breece Hall was able to reach the sideline and find the end zone for the second time today.

There’s no denying how ugly the first half was for the Jets.

Costly mistakes and a non-existent offense looked set to be another week of blowout losses for the Jets, who fell behind 13-0 and failed to pick up their first down with less than two minutes left in the half.

With the boo birds out in full force, Aaron Rodgers and the offense have finally come alive; Gang Green scored its first goal in five quarters, giving the Colts a six-lead lead at halftime.

The Jets offense finally came to life on the final drive before halftime as Aaron Rodgers handled the ball to Breece Hall, who found open space and walked untouched into the end zone to get Gang Green on the board.

It was the Jets’ first goal since late in the fourth quarter in their come-from-behind victory over the Texans in Week 9.

This needs to be the spark that will galvanize the Jets’ offense to avoid their seventh loss in the last eight games.

After the disastrous fourth down fumble, the Jets defense held the Colts to a field goal after Quinnen Williams sacked Anthony Richardson for a 16-yard loss on third down.

The Jets defense did a good job of limiting the damage, now it’s time for Aaron Rodgers and Co. to do something offensively to get points on the board.

The boo birds went out of play when the Jets failed to pass on 4th-and-1 from their own 39-yard line, and tight end Tyler Conklin unsuccessfully tried to pass the ball directly under center.

One more point from the Colts and that would put the game out of reach, given how bad the Jets’ offense has been since their second-half comeback victory against the Texans in Week 9.

It gets worse for the Jets, who find themselves down 10-0 after Colts QB Anthony Richards finds the end zone to extend Indy’s lead.

It was the same for Gang Green, who started the game with three straight 3-pointers, making it his third time this season and leading the NFL.

The second quarter has just begun, but the Jets are up 132-9 and have gone five consecutive quarters without a touchdown.

After a quick three-and-out by the Jets, the Colts get on the board first with a 41-yard field goal from Matt Gay.

The biggest play of the drive occurred when Colts QB Anthony Richardson hit a 31-yard strike to WR Josh Downs to put Indianapolis in Jets’ territory for a field goal.

Jets vs Colts prediction

Jets 24, Colts 21: It’s crazy to think the Jets are favored here, let alone a four-point favorite, a week after losing by 25 points. But the NFL is truly a week-to-week league, and it shows here. It’s a bounce-back performance for both the Jets’ offense and defense as they earned their fourth win of the season bye in Week 12 with a narrow victory over the Colts.
