At the start of this season, this Thursday night matchup was easy to overlook. <\/p>\n
But both the New York Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars have played well enough to put themselves on the precipice of AFC wild card spots. Entering Week 16, the Jaguars were surging. The Jets were stumbling. <\/p>\n
The trends continued to play out that way at a rainy and windy MetLife Stadium, with the Jaguars defeating the Jets 19-3 and pulling within a half game of the Tennessee Titans in the AFC South. <\/p>\n
For the Jets, it marked their fifth loss in six games and was emblematic of their spiral. Quarterback Zach Wilson was benched \u2013 once again \u2013 in the third quarter for the little-known Chris Streveler. <\/p>\n
Here are the winners and losers from the second-to-last “Thursday Night Football” game of the season. <\/p>\n

As a member of the New York Giants, he was booed at the stadium on several occasions. <\/p>\n This time the boos weren’t for him. <\/p>\n Engram caught seven passes on eight targets for 113 receiving yards, often showing his ability to pick up yardage after the catch. <\/p>\n\n The former first-round pick, who signed a one-year deal with Jacksonville this offseason, had 11 catches, 162 yards and two touchdowns two weekends ago against the Titans. Last Sunday, in a win over the Cowboys, he had 62 yards on eight catches. <\/p>\n Lawrence keeps growing into the potentially franchise-changing quarterback the Jaguars hoped they acquired when they took him at the top of the 2021 draft. He was 20 of 31 for 229 yards through the air. But Lawrence was even more impressive on the ground, with seven rushes for 51 yards (7.3 yards per carry). <\/p>\n In the second quarter, he scored the lone touchdown of the game with a quarterback sneak, stretching the ball over the goal line right after the snap. <\/p>\nwinners <\/h2>\n
