EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — In a regular season finale, the New York Jets will host the Miami Dolphins today at 4:25 p.m. Eastern on FOX.
If you’ve cut the cord, you can still watch for free without cable. Several streaming services will broadcast the game live and you can watch on Fubo (free trial), DirecTV Stream (free trial) and Sling (promotional offers).
The Jets enter this matchup at 4-12 and with nothing but draft position left to play for. New York enters this week tied with four other teams for the NFL’s fifth-worst record, so a loss would help their offseason cause. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers will start the game despite being pulled late in last week’s blowout loss against the Buffalo Bills. But questions persist concerning Rodgers’ future with the franchise.
At 8-8, the Dolphins need a win plus a Broncos loss to steal the seventh AFC playoff berth. Miami started the season 2-4 due in part to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s absence (concussion), but Tagovailoa is 6-5 as a starter this season with one more chance to strengthen his playoff hopes.
