The Los Angeles Rams continued their winning streak on Sunday, defeating the New York Jets 19-9 at MetLife Stadium. The victory marked their eighth win in the last 10 games and solidified their control of the NFC West.
With only two games left in the regular season, the Rams are now well-positioned to secure a division title. They will face off against the Seattle Seahawks next, and a win would seal the deal.
Key performers from the game included running back Kyren Williams, who rushed for 122 yards and scored a touchdown, and tight end Tyler Higbee, who caught an important pass that gave the Rams a lead they never relinquished. Defensive back Kam Curl also made a key play, stripping the ball away from Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the fourth quarter.
However, not all players had successful games. Wide receiver Ahkello Witherspoon struggled to contain Jets’ receivers, allowing Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson to make big plays. The team’s pass rush was also ineffective, with defensive end Byron Young generating little pressure on Rodgers. Center Beaux Limmer suffered from penalty problems, which cost the Rams yards on the ground. And quarterback Matthew Stafford threw for just 110 yards, despite a few highlight-reel completions.
Despite these issues, the Rams’ victory will be seen as a major win in their bid to secure a division title.
