Final game. Final disappointment.
The Miami Dolphins lost at the New York Jets on Sunday, 32-20, to finish the season at 8-9. They wouldn’t have made the playoffs anyway as Denver beat Kansas City, 38-0, to take the final post-season spot.
Here are 10 thoughts on the day:

Comedian Nikki Glaser didn’t hold back while hosting the 82nd Annual Golden Globes on Sunday, taking shots at Harrison Ford, Nicole Kidman, Adrien Brody and Benny Blanco.
Glaser kicked off the ceremony by teasing that the Golden Globes are “Ozempic’s biggest night,” before turning her attention to the individual celebrities in the audience.
“I was actually talking to Harrison backstage and after he gave me his drink order, I said, ‘Would you rather work with Zendaya or Ariana?’ He said Indica so we’re going to find him some so he has a good time tonight,” Glaser joked, referring to decades of reports about Ford’s weed-smoking exploits.

The Golden Globes, which host Nikki Glaser introduced as “Ozempic’s biggest night,” got underway Sunday with awards spread around for “Emilia Pérez,” “A Real Pain,” and “Conclave,” as Hollywood’s thus-far unpredictable awards season remained hard to pin in the early going.
Comedian Nikki Glaser kicked off the 82nd Golden Globes, with a promise: “I’m not here to roast you.”
But Glaser, a stand-up whose breakthrough came in a withering roast of Tom Brady, made her way around the ballroom of the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, on Sunday picking out plenty of targets in an opening monologue she had worked out extensively in comedy clubs beforehand.
Glaser, hosting the Globes two weeks before the inauguration of Donald Trump, reserved perhaps her most cutting line for the whole room of Hollywood stars.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N. J. — The Miami Dolphins needed two things to happen to earn their third consecutive playoff berth: win their finale against the New York Jets and have Denver lose to Kansas City. Neither happened. Denver won, 38-0, before the Dolphins’ game was over.
It doesn’t matter.
The Dolphins’ 32-20 loss against the New York Jets (5-12) still goes down as one of the most embarrassing, humiliating and shameful losses in the Mike McDaniel era.
And that’s not a short list.
The Dolphins (8-9) ended the season with a whimper, finishing 3-6 on the road, 1-4 against playoff teams and 7-5 against non-playoff teams.
The 2024 season will go down as a complete failure.
Here are some more takeaways from Sunday’s game:
Snoop has rough game, might not be backup answer
Quarterback Tyler “Snoop” Huntley came up short in the Dolphins’ biggest game of the season with four fumbles and two interceptions, making you wonder whether he’s successfully completed his audition for 2025 backup quarterback.
The Dolphins needed leadership and stability at quarterback and didn’t get anything close to that.
It’s always a downer watching the final seconds tick away in a Miami Dolphins season, as they did again Sunday, the big hope of summer ending in the three … two … one … of another Groundhog Year of nothing.
That empty feeling felt magnified Sunday. It wasn’t just the too-lifeless loss to the New York Jets (5-12), considering the Dolphins (8-9) were eliminated from the playoffs by Denver’s win anyhow.
It’s what coming next, too.
Quick thoughts from South Florida Sun Sentinel staffers on the Miami Dolphins’ season-ending 32-20 loss to the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on Sunday:
Dave Hyde, Columnist
Four turnovers in the finale isn’t the way to go out, though the sting was gone considering Denver makes the playoffs anyway. All this means is the Dolphins can’t say they had five straight winning seasons.
