Fourteen years have passed since an unforgettable moment in New York Jets history. After a surprising AFC Championship appearance the previous year, few expected a repeat performance. Facing a dominant 14-2 New England Patriots team, who had recently crushed the Jets 45-3 in December, the odds were heavily stacked against them.
But this set the stage for an iconic outburst from Jets linebacker Bart Scott. In a moment captured by ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio, Scott emphatically—some might say screamed—proclaimed, “Can’t wait!” following the Jets’ stunning 28-21 upset of their rivals. The sheer intensity of Scott’s emotion instantly became a legendary moment for Jets fans.
However, the victory carries a bittersweet note: it remains the last time the Jets have won a playoff game.
