In an NFL Week 16 matchup, the New York Jets, holding the league's worst offense with only 3,571 total yards, faced off against the Washington Commanders, who have the league's worst defense, ranking dead-last. The game was anticipated to be either a dull affair or an unexpectedly competitive clash, as both teams have been performing poorly this season. The Jets, with a 5-9 record, and the Commanders, at 4-10, met at MetLife Stadium on Christmas Eve, with both teams looking to improve their disappointing records. The game included a series of red zone plays by the Jets, who managed only one touchdown and two field goals from three trips inside the 20. As the game progressed, the Jets held a 27-14 lead at the end of the third quarter. Despite a late-game rally by the Commanders, the Jets secured a win with a field goal following a defensive lapse by the Commanders, who failed to gain a crucial first down and instead opted to punt, resulting in a final score of Jets 27, Commanders 14.

Commanders huge comeback and in typical fashion, choke at the end and let jets win it on a field goal by playing soft prevent defense. All Commanders needed was one first down. Instead they ran it 3 times up the guy and punted. Typical. We truly suck.
The very first time this season in which the Commanders should not play to win, the Commanders rally back and are in position to win. Worst possible result for fans.
Do the Jets realize they’re playing the Commanders?
The Commanders had no interest in winning this game. The Jets couldn't stand for that.
End 3Q: #Jets: 27 Commanders: 14
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.
Good news: #Jets have already run 11 plays in the red zone. Bad news: They've come away with only 1 TD in 3 trips inside the 20 -- TD, FG, FG.

New on @TheNFLWire: The Washington Commanders are playing against the New York Jets at a level that would make the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers turn away in disgust. https://t.co/BREnSk7kKW
Commanders are making the Trevor Siemian-led New York Jets look like the 2007 Patriots https://t.co/qQEtL2W8Dl
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
