The Los Angeles Rams (8-6) must travel from coast-to-coast to face the New York Jets (4-9) and the bitter cold in Week 16. This is not the type of game that the Rams would choose to play, but it is a game the Rams must win if they are to have any hope of winning the NFC West Division and earning at least one home game in this year's NFL Playoffs.
But the Jets, the East Coast time zone, and bitter cold temperatures stand in the Rams way of a happily ever after season. And from what the team has experienced this season, no opponent can be taken for granted. After all, the Rams have come up short against the Chicago Bears (4-10), the Miami Dolphins (6-8), and the Arizona Cardinals (7-7). So the Jets remain a formidable foe, even with a record of 4-10 and having been eliminated from postseason competition.
The Jets have the luxury of playing spoiler to the Rams. Aided by a 10:00 am PT kickoff, and temperatures that plummet as low as 12 degrees Fahrenheit with the wind chill factored in, they just may pull off the upset.
The Rams have plenty of motivation to focus on the Jets, and not glance ahead to any future opponent. The Jets just defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars in a game that only hurt their upcoming NFL Draft position. The Rams can expect to face the best of the Jets players.
But the Rams are no slouches either. This is a team that improves each week and is now entering Week 16 healthier than it has been all season. That is an important fact, as the Rams roster is at its season-best in time to play the final three games in hopes of earning a playoff berth.
