Jets’ biggest Pro Bowl snubs

A look at four players on the Jets that had a case to be selected to the Pro Bowl.

The Jets landed two players in the 2024 Pro Bowl Games. Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner are heading to Orlando in February to take part in the various events such as flag football and the tug of war.

However, even with the Jets at 6-10, there are a few players who made a strong case to be selected for the Pro Bowl that came up short. They could still make the roster as an alternate, but for now, they’re left empty-handed. Let’s talk about some of those players here.

Jermaine Johnson answered for the Jets, plucking a Joe Flacco pass and taking it 37 yards in the second quarter.

The score cut the Jets’ deficit to 27-14 after the PAT.

Running through some of the top performers from the Jets’ 30-28 win on Christmas Eve over the Washington Commanders.

After holding 20-0 and 27-7 leads, the Jets let the Commanders back in the game, almost giving Washington a Christmas miracle. Instead, the Jets rallied late and Greg Zuerlein kicked a 54-yard to give New York a 30-28 win to move to 6-9 on the season.

Zuerlein is one star from this game but there were a few more. So in the Christmas spirit, we’ll highlight a few stars from Sunday to spread some holiday cheer before the Jets get right back to work to prepare for Thursday’s trip to Cleveland.
