15. New York Jets vs. Dallas Cowboys (2019)
The Jets were riding a seven-game losing streak before this game. Indeed, their losing streak extended back to the previous season. But nobody had high hopes for their chances against Dallas. Sam Darnold returned from injury to start again for the Green Gang (via New York Post). He put in the best performance of his young career as they created one of the upsets of the last decade.

Adam Gase didn’t enjoy a lot of success during his Jets’ tenure. He even infuriated their fanbase by winning games when they wanted to tank for Trevor Lawrence. But this was a rare bright spot in his dismal tenure. Their record became 1-4 in 2019 and analysts questioned if they were finally getting it together. However, that’s not what happened. This 24-22 victory was like an oasis in a desert of despair.
