In perhaps the ultimate Christmas miracle, the Sunday afternoon tilt at MetLife Stadium between the equally doomed New York Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars has turned out to be one of Week 16’s most thrilling NFL showdowns.
Behind long, big plays from Zach Wilson and Braxton Berrios, the Jets have gone into the halftime break with a 13-12 lead. Wilson put in a 52-yard rushing score while Berrios took a kickoff back 103 yards for a special teams tally shortly after.
