One would think that a team not having to punt in a half is a key to victory. For the New York Jets, it was a death knell.
Each of the team's second-half possessions against the Los Angeles Rams ended in either a turnover on downs, a fumble or a missed field goal. The Rams did enough on offense, leaning on Kyren Williams, to pull out the 19-9 win in Week 16 — the team's fourth straight victory.

PLAYER OF THE GAME
Rookie edge defender Jared Verse has established himself as the 2024 class' top pass rusher, securing another five quarterback pressures and recovering a fumble in this game. If his pressure total holds after reviews, Verse would have the fourth-most pressures in the NFL — behind only Chris Jones, Trey Hendrickson and Myles Garrett.
