At first it seemed like the Jets were going to win as they took a 10-3 lead and were threatening to score again.
Things then took a turn for the worse for the Jets as the first half came to a close when Mark Sanchez blew an opportunity to extend the Jets lead by an additional three points and was picked off by Randy Starks.
The Dolphins took advantage of Sanchez's error and closed the half with a field goal and came out in the second half looking to add on points and send the Jets packing early.
That is exactly what the Dolphins did as Mark Sanchez continued to turn the ball over with his inconsistent and inaccurate passes, which lead to more Miami points.
In the second half, the Dolphins scored 13 unanswered points leaving Mark Sanchez scratching his head and head coach Rex Ryan furious.
The Jets were able to score a touchdown with 1:15 left but it was too little too late as they were already down by two possessions and failed to get the onside kick.
Both teams will be watching the post season from the comfort of their own homes as they try and prepare for the 2012-13 season.
The Jets finish 8-8 and the Dolphins finish 6-10.
Final Score: New York Jets: 19 - Miami Dolphins: 17
Missed Mark Sanchez's four interceptions in today's game?
Here's the final one, which he tossed to Dolphins LB Marvin Mitchell.
Brandon Marshall recovers the onside kick and that is it for the 2011 season for the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins.
Patrick Turner scores a touchdown with 1:15 left in the game, giving the Jets life. They still need to get an onside kick, which is improbable.
Meanwhile the Titans have a seven point lead, so no matter what, the Jets will be done after today.
And Dan Carpenter knocks through a 44-yard field goal that makes it a two possession game, putting an end to an abysmal season for both teams.
And Mark Sanchez is intercepted inside the Miami 10-yard line by Marvin Mitchell who returns it into New York territory, and this game is over.
After a roughing the passer penalty on third and long, the Jets still have life.
On 1st and 10, Jets OC Brian Schottenheimer goes with a trick play with an end around to Jeremy Kerley that gets the Jets into the red zone.
Following the interception, the Jets hold the Dolphins to a field goal as they extend their lead to 6-points. This will be a very crucial drive for Mark Sanchez moving forward...
