Miami Dolphins at New York Jets
· National Football LeagueRodgers throws a season-high 4 touchdown passes in possible final game as Jets top Dolphins 32-20

“Yeah, that was cool,” Rodgers said with a smile.
If this was it for the 41-year-old quarterback, he capped a storied career with a victory and some history.
Rodgers threw a season-high four touchdown passes, becoming the fifth player to throw 500 career regular-season TD passes, in what could’ve been his final NFL game to lead the Jets to a 32-20 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
“I just need some time away to think about my future in the game, and my future here if they want me to be a part of the next phase or they're ready to move on," Rodgers said. "Either way, I’m thankful for my two years here.”
Rodgers is uncertain if he wants to continue playing for a 21st season, and it's unclear if the Jets (5-12) — who'll have a new general manager and coach next season — will want to move forward with him.
“Oh, I don't know,” Rodgers said when asked if he believes in his heart he'll be back with the Jets. “I honestly don't know."
Owner Woody Johnson, vice chairman Christopher Johnson and team president Hymie Elhai are expected to chat with Rodgers at some point during the week as a hectic offseason begins for New York, which is already conducting interviews with GM and coach candidates.
“I’m looking forward to those conversations,” Rodgers said. “It feels good to be able to do some of the things these last five or six weeks I know I was capable of doing, even at 40, 41. But either way, I won't be upset or offended with what they decide to do — if they want to move on, if I still want to play.
“And if not, I'll let them know, if that's the case.”
Rodgers finished 23 of 36 for 274 yards and TD passes to Tyler Conklin, Davante Adams, Allen Lazard and Breece Hall — and was intercepted by Tyrel Dodson on his first throw.
He also helped shut the door on the Dolphins (8-9), who needed a victory to keep their playoff hopes alive. But that became moot when Denver routed Kansas City, which rested Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and several other starters, to clinch the final AFC postseason berth for the Broncos.
The Dolphins might also be in for some offseason drama. After the game, star wide receiver Tyreek Hill appeared to indicate he wanted out of Miami.
“This is the first time I haven’t been in the playoffs,” Hill told reporters. “For me, I have to do what’s best for me and my family, if that’s here or wherever the case may be. ... I’m opening the door. I’m out. It was great playing here.”
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he was “informed” Hill was “unavailable” before a drive in the second half — and McDaniel wasn't told Hill had an injury. McDaniel also didn't want to comment on Hill's statements until he spoke to the receiver.
“We’ll see how the next couple of days progress with those conversations with him and I,” McDaniel said.
Conklin handed Rodgers the ball as the entire offense celebrated in the end zone, hugging the quarterback and tapping him on the helmet.
Rodgers added to his career TDs total on a 13-yard throw to Lazard with 59 seconds left in the first half. Hall ran for the 2-point conversion to put the Jets up 15-6.
But Rodgers got No. 502 on a 4-yard touchdown pass to Adams, the 83rd time the two have connected for a score — moving them past Miami's Dan Marino and Mark Clayton for the third most by a quarterback-wide receiver combination. It gave New York a 25-13 lead.
But Rodgers then capped his big day with a 6-yard touchdown toss to Hall with 2:30 remaining.
