The STRANGEST ENDING in New York Jets HISTORY | Bengals @ Jets (1993)

In a 1993 NFL week 12 game at Giants Stadium between the New York Jets and the Cincinnati Bengals, the final second of the game took roughly 10 minutes to complete. And that was because the New York Jets and head coach Bruce Coslet, somehow, did not know the rules, despite the rule being a fairly well known rule. And after the game, Coslet's explanation for why he didn't know the rule was nothing short of asinine. This is the story behind the 1993 Jets, and the strangest ending to a game in franchise history

No wonder Charlie Jones and Todd Christensen, who called the game for NBC, were hysterical! Coslet made himself look crazy that day.

Not a shock that the 90s Jets and Bengals were involved in a game with insane incompetence

Of the 28 Head Coaches in the league that season, Bruce Coslet certainly was one of them.

I remember Boomer Esiason telling a story about this game and how during the strike he and the rest of the Bengals practiced taking safeties.

[@danielbowden6330]

I remember playing in my yard back in grade school (30+ years ago). We had a safety and, sure enough everyone knew that you had to punt and could not use a tee.

[@marcdaley]

In their last 6 games following this win, the Jets averaged a robust six(6) points a game. Between an anemic offense and questionable coaching, they became worse than 39.6

As a lifelong Jets fan, it was a long 4 years with Bruce Coslet as head coach. I saw this game on TV. The Jets were honoring the 25th anniversary of the 1968 Super Bowl championship team. After this game the Jets went 2-4., including losing to Houston 24-0 in a final must win game , to finish 8-8 and Coslet got fired

[@OhThankKevin]

Still shorter than the 5 years with Kotite… well, it felt like 5 years

[@stevengrvp]

[@footwork216]

The Jets were a mediocre team masquerading as a playoff contender. They needed one win in their last 3 games and in those games had to play the Cowboys (Super Bowl champs on the way to their 2nd in a row), at Buffalo (Super Bowl runner up 3 straight years and on the way to their 4th appearance in as many seasons) and at Houston (hottest team in the league, with 10 straight wins heading in). That's a brutal schedule for anybody, let alone the marginally talented Jets. They should have beaten the Bills, but Cary Blanchard missed a bunch of FG's. The other two games weren't close because despite their record, the Jets weren't very good. Most of their wins that year came against the bottom rung of the league. Heading into that last stretch, they went 3 games in a row without scoring a TD, yet somehow went 2-1 in those games, both being shutouts. It was the 9-6 loss at home to the Colts that cost them the playoffs, or the games they completely choked against the Eagles and Raiders earlier in the season. All very winnable games for teams that weren't the Jets. Not the murderers row they had to end with.

[@whataboutrob442]

You say the Jets are the only team that could lose a game they'd won, but that once happened for real. In 1959, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers lost a game to the Saskatchewan Roughriders despite them having won the game because Saskatchewan played an ineligible QB. This was actually the second game the Roughriders played with an ineligible QB and both were done with every team knowing that he was ineligible.

[@intsoccersuperstar1]

Dewayne Rudd helmet game with the browns was a loss on a game they had won too. 0:00 on the clock, dead ball, up 2…only for a flag for taking his helmet off during the play to give the chiefs an untimed down and 15 yards to get into field goal range.

Sam Wysche was a decent head coach -- not a great or brilliant one, though. He was the kind of coach that, if you were the owner of a struggling franchise perpetually in the basement of their respective conference, you would hire to make your team competitive and not just constantly in rebuilding mode. He was capable of bringing teams he coached deep into the playoffs and even the Super Bowl, but he also had a tendency to make boneheaded, temple-scratching play calls at critical moments in games like this one being dissected here -- a trait which kept him from being a great coach.

JG9, I sincerely like your videos a lot and have probably watched at least 50 by now but if I could ask just one thing it'd be to not spend so much time repeating things that are fairly obvious to the average viewer. Your videos are insanely well researched and extremely interesting. It's just that it feels like your average video could convey the same amount of information in like 1/2 to 2/3 of the run times you usually end up at. If longer run times are a necessary evil for you to get the algorithm rub or ad revenue then forget I said anything. I fully understand if it's something you do against your will in order to help the channel grow and work toward making this thing your full time gig if you're still working your day job. Either way, thanks for making very satisfying content. I do sincerely appreciate it.

[@cameronrose9902]

pete Carroll in the background is priceless

[@bwburke94]

First off, "a game cannot end on a penalty" is a RIDICULOUS generalization. Fouls committed by the offense never extend the period, and there is no provision for an untimed free kick after a safety. (And you should have been well aware of this, thanks to that oft-repeated clip of John Harbaugh's Ravens taking a safety to end the game against the Bengals in 2016.) Second, this isn't even a foul in the first place, as it's perfectly legal to lateral out of your own end zone for a safety.

[@kreengorilla]

There IS a provision for an untimed kick after a penalty. If the last play of a half is a safety caused by a penalty, a safety-kick must take place. In this case that provision doesn't apply because there was 1 second left on the clock. You are correct, however, that in 1993 the clock started on the kick rather than the touch of the ball after the kick. Up by 5 after the safety nullified the risk of a faircatch-kick field goal attempt. So punting it as high as possible and only slightly more than 10 yards to ensure there was no return room would have been the correct play.

[@natecollison8331]

The strangest ending to a Jets game was in the late 1960's. It is still called The Heidi Game because NBC decided to jump from the last minute of the Jets vs Raiders game in Oakland, with the Jets holding a 3 point lead, at 7 PM, to The Wonderful World of Disney, which was playing the childrens' movie Heidi. By the time Jets fans could get to a radio, the Raiders had scored a go ahead td, and then recovered the ensuing kickoff, which was fumbled by the Jets in their end zone, for another td and an 11 point win.

[@dollartwentychickentendies]

My only theory is Coslet was playing dumb with the kicking tee and the dramatic arguing and subsequent timeout. He probably gave the Jets players almost 10 minutes to calm down and collect their breath and be focused for the free kick stop. But it's Coslet, so he may have been this dumb.

[@leogetz3570]

It's funny you brought up the Bengals gaffe in 87 against the 49ers.

[@footwork216]

The Jets almost never have two good years in a row. Mainly because they've never really had a legit franchise QB going back to Namath and lots of people think that's debatable. The few good QB's they've had also seem to have bad luck in the injury department. In 1999, the Jets were one of the pre-season favorites in the AFC after their great 1998 season and Elway retiring. So naturally, Vinny gets hurt in the 1st half of the first game and is out for the year. After a terrible 1st half of the season, they finally get it together and finish 8-8 but then Parcells leaves, and then Belichick leaves (at the time Jets fans weren't too angry about the latter either, based on how his stint in Cleveland went). The Jets win the division in 2002. Chad Pennington looks like the next great QB (not really, but he definitely showed flashes). In 2003, the Jets are expected to be good. Pennington breaks his hand in pre-season. The team gets off to a bad start, they rush him back and it doesn't make a difference anyway. Jets are good again in 2004 with Pennington back at the helm. 2005, he gets hurt in the 3rd game and the Jets are garbage again. He comes back in 2006, the Jets are back in the playoffs. 2007 he's both banged up and ineffective so the Jets let him go. 2008, they trade for Brett Favre. Doesn't matter, they lose the division to the Dolphins with, oh yeah, Chad Pennington at QB. Favre leaves for Minnesota and leads them to the NFC Championship game in his first season. 2009, they draft Mark "Buttfumble" Sanchez. On the strength of the defense they get to two consecutive AFC championship games and lose, and the Jets have mostly been ass ever since...

J-e-t-s let's go

pooch punt or throw a hail mary out of bounds tell you players to hold or cut block ! Would work as well ok with a penalty if it kills the clock ! kneel down on the next play! The nfl should have a rule no 10 sec run off if you are intentionally taking a penalty! Like Ravens , vs Bengals 2015 !
