Jets vs. Rams Game Review 12/22/2024

Rams RB Kyren Williams, who finished the game with 122 yards on 23 carries (5.3 average), scored a 2-yard rushing touchdown three plays later, but K Josh Karty missed the extra point to tie the game at 6: 6 draw.

The Jets then held the ball for the final 6:22 of the second quarter and the first 9:45 of the third quarter, but the offense stalled again on fourth down, this time in the red zone. Down 9-6 at LA’s 14-yard line (Anders Carlson hit a 21-yard FG at the end of the first half), Rodgers couldn’t connect with Davante Adams on the 14th play of the drive. The Rams responded with a 13-play, 66-yard drive that ended in a game-winning 38-yard field goal.

“That’s the attitude of Brick (coach Ulbrich), Aaron and the whole team, to do whatever it takes to get points,” Adams said. “You live by it, unfortunately sometimes you die by it. It’s unfortunate, but I felt like it was the right thing to do.”

On the ensuing drive, Rodgers turned the ball over for the first time since Week 13. Curl knocked the ball out of Rodgers’ hands and rookie edge rusher Jared Verse recovered at the Jets’ 21-yard line. Stafford’s touchdown pass to TE Tyler Higbee gave the visitors a 16-9 lead, and the Rams later added a field goal with 5:22 left to seal the game.

“I probably should have handed the ball out,” Rodgers said of the ball loss. “It looked like we were pretty banged up everywhere, but I should have just gotten out of the pocket quick and dumped it somewhere. Bad game.”
