Time is ticking for several NFL teams with playoff aspirations.

For these teams, a loss will easily knock them out of playoff contention.

However, of these desperate teams, which are the two most desperate to win in week 16?

Aaron Rodgers still has his swagger intact, even with the Green Bay Packers on the brink of playoff elimination.

But with the Packers facing the Miami Dolphins, it will take more than swagger to take down the Dolphins.

However, he has an excellent record against them, winning two of the three games he has started against them.

The New York Jets have reached the point of ultimate despair in 2022.

After starting the season looking like playoff contenders, the team has skidded.

Some feel the problem stemmed from Zach Wilson, who lost his starting job after a horrible performance against the New England Patriots.

Although he lost his job to Mike White, he is now getting it back due to an injury White sustained against the Buffalo Bills.

However, Wilson has pressure on him now to lead the Jets to a playoff spot.

Not only will the Jets be desperate for a win, but so will Wilson.

His desperation stems from the fact that this may be his last chance to prove himself worthy of the starting job.
