#5) New York Jets (last playoff win: Jan. 16, 2011)

Mark Sanchez and the New York Jets massively regressed after conseutive AFC Championship game appearances

The 2009 season will be remembered as the beginning of a massive missed opportunity for the New York Jets.

They had a bombastic head coach in Rex Ryan, who was outspoken about wanting to defeat the New England Patriots and winning Super Bowls. And he had a strong cast at his disposal: rookies Mark Sanchez and Shonn Greene, sophomore tight end Dustin Keller, one of the deeper offensive lines in the league with three Pro Bowlers, and a monstrous defense anchored by future Hall of Fame cornerback Darrelle Revis.

That team managed to make it to the AFC Championship Game, where they blew an 11-point lead and lost at Peyton Manning's Indianapolis Colts. But for 2010, the Jets only got better.

While they lost Thomas Jones to the Kansas City Chiefs, they did gain another future Hall of Famer in LaDainian Tomlinson, as well as two top AFC North wide receivers in one-time Cleveland Browns Pro Bowler Braylon Edwards and Pittsburgh Steelers champion Santonio Holmes. Revis also got himself a backfield partner in Antonio Cromartie.

The revamped squad defeated the Colts, then the Patriots, to reach another AFC Championship Game, only for them to fall behind early and eventually lose at the Steelers. From there, Gang Green deteriorated into the laughingstock that it is today.
