The god-awful drive that changed NFL history | Dorktown

In 2011, the Jets and Chiefs helped each other put together one of the worst five-minute stretches of football the NFL has ever seen. It shouldn’t have mattered. And yet, it changed both teams forever.

“Dangerously close to finally playing at a league average level” that has to be the most Jets sentence ever

“Todd Haley Loses Grip On Coaching Entirely, Accidentally Saves Kansas City Football”

this drive sure does provide itself as a primo example of "the jets do not play football, football just sort of happens to them"

[Tommyfl]

So you’re telling me the Jets inadvertently caused the rise of the Brady Belichick dynasty AND the soon to be Mahomes and Reid dynasty? Man, we are the worst.

I was at this game as a Jets fan. I distinctly remember looking at Todd Haley on the sideline, and thinking of how bad I felt for him and the Chiefs franchise/fans overall.
That day, the universe taught me that empathy is a weakness.

At this point im beginning to believe that football is cursed and shenanigans begin to occur when the score is 28-3

" Young QB was dangerously close to playing at league average level"

Pure Gold.

“you’re about to enter New York Jets territory this is your final warning”

Nothing has ever struck fear in me like that.

"unfortunately for them, they were abandoned by God" is such an iconic Jon Bois quote

[reardenbentley]

Going into this game, the Chiefs were 5-8 and the Jets were 8-5.

After the 2020 regular season, the Chiefs were 14-2 and the Jets were 2-14.

This absolutely means something, I just don’t know what.

I distinctly remember watching this game and drive with my now-passed grandfather. After Sanchez scored, he spike the ball and acted fired up. My grandfather, a Jets fan, mocked him and called him a bum. Good times.

Jon Bois:”Do you remember that video we made?”
Everyone: *Yes*

"You are about to enter New York Jets territory. This is your final warning"

Pretty much the Jets in a nutshell

[owenmurphy]

"This sucks so bad. It is a masterpiece."
The most jon bois thing I've ever heard

“28-3, middle of the 3rd quarter”

Every Falcons fan: *nam flashbacks insue

[ModernAtomX]

"This sucks SO bad... It's a masterpiece." That's hilarious.

[RotoMoto]

"dangerously close to finally playing at a league average level" sent me into another dimension my wife had to ask if I was okay

[josephvanhorn]

The Jets very next game was a 45-19 obliteration at the hands of who? That’s right. Andy Reid’s Eagles.

[stevedispensa]

"It's as if these teams found a way to play football on such a chaotic level that it sent blast waves throughout the annals of history." Legitimately one of the funniest lines about sports I've ever heard.

"Under the Reid administration, the Chiefs have won more games than anyone in the NFL except the Patriots."
This line is no longer true... Because the Chiefs surpassed them. Since 2013, the Chiefs are THE winningest team in the NFL, whether or not you count playoff wins.
