With second-year quarterback Bryce Petty making his first NFL start, the Jets took a 6-3 halftime lead over the visiting Rams. The young performer was 10-of-14 for 112 yards and a score in the first two quarters. But Todd Bowles’ squad was done scoring for the afternoon. After gaining 193 total yards in the first 30 minutes of action, the Jets gained a mere 103 total yards in the second half. And Petty’s lone interception of the afternoon came late in the game when the team still had a chance to win the game or at least send it into overtime. New York limited Los Angeles to three field goals and still came up short for the seventh time in 10 games this season.
<p>Next Week: Following their 9-6 loss to the Rams, Todd Bowles’ club now has the week off. That will give them some extended time to prepare for the AFC East leading New England Patriots, who invade MetLife Stadium on a Sunday night in Week 12. The Jets managed a home overtime victory over Bill Belichick’s club late last season.</p>
<p>Playoff hopes: The Jets remain at the bottom of the division standings and have already lost more games than they did all of last season. A 9-7 finish could still get you an invitation to the postseason party but that means New York has to run the table. And the way the team is playing these days that seems highly unlikely.</p>. 3-7.
