In an NFL Week 16 matchup, the New York Jets' NFL-worst offense is set to face off against the Washington Commanders' league-worst defense. This Christmas Eve game is anticipated to be either a lackluster event or an unexpected battle, as both teams have been underperforming in their respective areas. The Trevor Siemian-led Jets, known for securing wins in December that potentially compromise their draft position, are once again in a position to do so. Meanwhile, the Commanders have been criticized for their poor performance, with some commentators comparing their play unfavorably to the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The game has seen its share of odd plays, including a bizarre turnover on a Commanders' punt return and a high snap that the Jets failed to recover, leading to Washington gaining possession at the Jets' 12-yard line. Additionally, Commanders' quarterback Sam Howell was intercepted by Quincy Williams, who returned the ball to the Commanders 22, and Howell was subsequently pulled from the game after Curtis Samuel tripped on the turf during an interception.
Sam Howell pulled in consecutive games. Not great.
That pick looked bad for Sam Howell but it was a good pass. His receiver slipped and fell.
Curtis Samuel tripped up on the turf on that interception.
Quincy Williams picks off Sam Howell and brings the ball back to the Commanders 22
The #Commanders are a terrible team. One of the worst seasons on the field in franchise history. Players aren’t very good; coaches might be worse.
High snap and Siemian couldn't recover it. Washington has the ball at the Jets' 12.
Another turnover for the Commanders... tough 😬 (via @nyjets, @NFLonCBS) https://t.co/870mKrppE8
WOOP! ... One of the more bizarre turnovers you'll see in the NFL. The ball pops straight into the air on the Commanders' punt return and the Jets recover. 🎥 @nyjets https://t.co/SwM5ud7PAC
Commanders-Jets in a play. https://t.co/JtGVHT0j84
Jamison Crowder ... what? Plays hot potato with the football and the Jets take it in on one weird play. #Jets
Jets and pancakes! @nyjets @Commanders @NFLonCBS #jets https://t.co/adg7gPMXAl
The Commanders' First Quarter From Hell ended with Ron Rivera calling for a punt on fourth-and-3 from the Jets' 46-yard line. https://t.co/Yh3GY0r6pl

A #jets tradition unlike any other: Winning irrelevant December games to ruin draft position.
Poor punt and dumb penalty give Jets the ball at Commanders 43. Seriously Ron, call a time out, tell everyone to get their head in the game.
The #Commanders are so bad I am speechless.
It’s time to ruin Christmas with the Washington Commanders at the New York Jets. 🎅🏻 https://t.co/sRo7cg23sj
