Aaron Rodgers was closing in on his third MVP award, and the 2020 Jets were closing in on Trevor Lawrence the last time they played the Rams.
A game that would change the course of Jets history.
The Adam Gase Jets were 0-13 and 17-point underdogs at SoFi Stadium when they stunned the Rams, 23-20, and watched the Jaguars move in front of them because of an easier strength of schedule. The Jags refused to relinquish the first-overall pick of the 2021 draft.
“Hey, our job is to try to go out and win every week,” Gase said afterward, much to the chagrin of Jets fans.
