Sunday’s game between the Jets and the Rams is an AFC East team vs. an NFC West team that is going to have a distinct NFC North feel to it.
For starters, the high temperature at MetLife Stadium is forecast to be 25 degrees. Then, you look at the starting quarterbacks.Rodgers, the longtime Packers quarterback, and Stafford, the longtime Lions quarterback, had some battles over the years.
This is the 18th time they will face off. Rodgers has won 13 of those battles, but Stafford enters this one as the favorite with the 8-6 Rams fighting for a division title and the 4-10 Jets counting down the days to the offseason. Stafford, 36, was the No. 1-overall pick in 2009, one year after Rodgers, 41, became the starter in Green Bay. That led to plenty of head-to-head matchups between the quarterbacks.These Jets were doomed by a 2020 upset that changed the course of the franchise“I love Matt. He’s been one of my favorite players to watch over the years and compete against,” Rodgers said. “Just because of the way he plays, the way he competes — toughness, grit, arm strength, competitiveness.
He’s been on a tear over his past two games — throwing for 628 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions.The Rams are 7-2 over their past nine and are tied for first place in their division. Stafford has been a huge part of the Rams’ success. He has not thrown an interception in five games. Steve Serby
