 Ok Furless.. Yes, the New York Jets, who have been eliminated from playoff contention in the 2025 NFL season, can play the role of spoiler in their remaining games……

Playing spoiler means they can defeat teams that are currently in the playoff hunt or competing for better seeding, potentially impacting their opponents' postseason chances.
Jets' Remaining Opponents and Playoff Implications
With a current record of 3 wins and 10 losses, the Jets are in a position to affect the playoff picture for their upcoming opponents, which include several teams with strong playoff aspirations:
Week Date Opponent Opponent Current Record (W-L) Opponent Status/Implication
15 Sunday, Dec. 14 at Jacksonville Jaguars 9-4 Jaguars are 1st in the AFC South and need wins to secure their division title and potentially a high seed.
16 Sunday, Dec. 21 at New Orleans Saints 3-10 Saints are also likely eliminated, so this game has less "spoiler" potential in terms of affecting the playoff picture.
17 Sunday, Dec. 28 vs. New England Patriots 11-2 Patriots are 1st in the AFC East and are vying for the top seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
18 TBD at Buffalo Bills 9-4 Bills are 2nd in the AFC East and are in a tight race for a wild-card spot or the division title.
A win for the Jets in their matchups against the Jaguars, Patriots, or Bills could be a significant blow to those teams' playoff positioning and goals. For an eliminated team, playing spoiler can be a source of pride and an opportunity for players to prove their worth for the following season.
