The New York Jets suffered a crushing 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, despite a promising start that saw them outlast the Rams for nearly 16 minutes. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Davante Adams connected for several plays that showed promise, but ultimately could not overcome communication problems and injuries that plagued Rodgers throughout the game.
As the first half drew to a close, the Jets held a slim 9-6 lead over the Rams. However, the fourth quarter saw the Rams explode with 13 points, including a touchdown and field goal, to secure the win. Meanwhile, the Jets were unable to capitalize on their opportunities, scoring just three points in the second half.
The loss leaves the Jets with two remaining games, but serves as a disappointing end to a promising stretch that saw them compete against a tough Rams team. The NFC East title is still within reach for Philadelphia Eagles, who can clinch the division with a victory over the Washington Commanders on Sunday afternoon.
