Heroes, zeros from Jets’ loss to Rams

Heroes, zeros from the Jets’ 19-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday:

Hero

Kyren Williams rushed 23 times for 122 yards and one touchdown as the Rams’ game plan was better suited for the cold weather than the Jets’ (Breece Hall had 14 carries for 52 yards). 

Zero

Anders Carlson missed a PAT and a field goal — the latter of which could’ve made it a one-score game at the two-minute warning with three timeouts in the bank — as the Jets’ season of kicking disasters continued.

Unsung hero

Kam Curl had a strip sack on Aaron Rodgers that led to a takeaway at the 21-yard line, which the Rams converted into the go-ahead fourth-quarter touchdown.

“It looked like a normal game. It looked a little too normal for what we put on tape this year.”
