Q: What was Marcus Maye thinking on that final defensive drive?

A: The Jets defensive leader was focused on making a play, and he came up with probably the biggest of the game.

On fourth-and-4 from the Jets’ 37, Rams quarterback Jared Goff threw down the right side to Gerald Everett. Maye batted the pass away, giving the Jets the ball back.
