The nightmare season for Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets hit yet another new low on Sunday when they coughed up a late lead and lost at home to the Indianapolis Colts, 28-27. The Jets are now 3-8 on the year and have lost seven of their last eight games.

Rodgers and the Jets' offense had a chance in the final seconds to try to at least get in field goal range, but the Colts put an end to the game with a sack of Rodgers on a third-and-seven on their own 33-yard line.

The final play was an awful one for Rodgers, who should have done everything in his power to avoid taking a sack. The Jets didn't have a time out, so just throwing the ball away would have at least given them one last attempt to try to pull off a miracle.

Here's that play:

Fans crushed Rodgers for that:
