December 20, 2020. Collectively holed up in the safety of their homes, New York Jets fans writhed in agony as they watched their team blow the perfect season.
The perfect tanking effort, that is. On that fateful day in an empty SoFi Stadium, the 0-13 Jets somehow pulled out a 23-20 win over the 9-4 Los Angeles Rams as 17.5-point underdogs, which converted possession of the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Jets were finally going to do it. They were going all the way in – no half-measures.
