2012 New York Jets Season
The 2012 New York Jets season was the franchise's 43rd season in the National Football League, the 53rd overall and the fourth under head coach Rex Ryan. The Jets failed to improve their 8–8 record from 2011 and were eliminated from postseason contention for the second straight season. 2012 was overall one of the most turbulent seasons in franchise history. The team was distracted by increased media presence during the off-season due to a quarterback controversy between incumbent starter Mark Sanchez and trade acquisition Tim Tebow. In addition, numerous blunders on and off the field as well as injuries often led to sloppy play, and the team was compared to a "circus", with the infamous "Butt fumble" play on Thanksgiving considered the low-point of the season. The Jets' offense scored 281 points, ranking them 30th in the league, while the defense was ranked 8th best in the league.
